Ingredients
- 7 large eggs
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced thin
- 5 ounce baby spinach
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 tablespoon dehydrated potato flakes
- 1 red Fresno chili pepper, minced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into small stars
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. 1. Hard-Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot of cold water, bring to a boil, turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath, then peel.
2. 2. Prepare the Spinach: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Allow the spinach mixture to cool slightly.
3. 3. Make the Filling: Slice the eggs in half, remove the yolks, and place the yolks in a bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, smoked paprika, hot sauce, potato flakes, and the cooled spinach mixture. Mix until smooth and well combined.
4. 4. Fill the Eggs: Pipe or spoon the filling into the egg whites, creating a tall “tree” shape.
5. 5. Garnish: Sprinkle the minced Fresno chili over the “trees” to create “ornaments,” top each with a yellow pepper star, and finish with a dusting of Parmesan cheese for “snow.”
6. 6. Serve: Chill the Deviled Egg Christmas Trees until ready to serve.
Notes
These Deviled Egg Christmas Trees can be made up to a day in advance. Store the filled egg whites and the filling separately in the refrigerator until ready to assemble and serve.
