Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 12 Hard-Boiled Eggs
  • 2 ripe Avocados
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Garnishes and Decorations

  • Chopped Chives or Parsley (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Cherry Tomatoes (halved, about 12)
  • Shredded Carrots or Bell Peppers (about 1/4 cup)
  • Sliced Olives or Capers (about 2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Hard-Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water by about one inch. Bring to a boil, then cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to cool completely, ensuring easy peeling and firm whites.
  2. Prepare the Filling: Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Add the ripe avocado, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble the Christmas Trees: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each egg white half with the avocado mixture. Shape the filling into small triangular “trees,” layering gently to create a 3D effect. For a brighter green color, lightly mash the avocado filling right before filling the eggs.
  4. Decorate the Trees: Top each avocado-filled egg with halved cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots or bell peppers, sliced olives or capers, and chopped herbs to mimic lights, garlands, and stars on a Christmas tree. Be creative with the decorations.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm avocados for the smoothest, creamiest filling without lumps.
  • Mix lemon juice into the avocado immediately to prevent browning and maintain vibrant color.
  • Use a star-shaped piping tip for a textured, festive look, or a small round tip for smooth trees.
  • Chill the filled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and filling firm up.
  • Arrange the deviled eggs on a platter decorated with fresh herbs or cranberries for enhanced festive appeal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; add extra lemon juice on top before storing to preserve freshness.
  • Freezing is not recommended due to texture changes in eggs and avocado.
  • Serve cold or at room temperature; avoid reheating to maintain flavor and texture.
