Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes and Decorations

  • Fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped
  • Small diced red bell pepper or cherry tomato pieces
  • Black sesame seeds or poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs: Start by hard boiling your eggs. Once cooked, cool them quickly in ice water, then peel carefully to avoid cracking. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks into a mixing bowl.
  2. Make the Avocado Filling: Mash the ripe avocado with the egg yolks until smooth. Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper, then mix well to create a creamy, uniform filling that holds its shape but spreads easily.
  3. Assemble the Christmas Tree Shape: Pipe or spoon the avocado yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, shaping the filling into a triangular Christmas tree form for each egg half.
  4. Decorate Your Edible Trees: Garnish with finely chopped red bell pepper or cherry tomato pieces to mimic holiday ornaments, sprinkle fresh herbs for greenery, and add a small streak of seeds at the base as a tree trunk.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled Christmas Tree Avocado Deviled Eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing flavors to meld and the filling to set nicely.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm avocados to maintain smooth texture without mushiness.
  • Refrigerate eggs immediately after boiling to simplify peeling and maintain freshness.
  • Use a piping bag or zip-lock bag with a snipped corner for neat, tree-shaped filling application.
  • Keep filled deviled eggs covered tightly to prevent avocado discoloration.
  • Get creative with decorations like chives, pomegranate seeds, or mini olives for festive appeal.
