Ingredients
6 large eggs
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh spinach
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons pomegranate arils or finely diced red bell pepper
1 slice cheddar cheese, cut into tiny stars
Instructions
1. Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 10 to 12 minutes.
2. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath and chill completely before peeling.
3. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the whites on a serving platter.
4. Mash the yolks until fine, then mix with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, relish, parsley, spinach, dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
5. Blend or mash the filling until smooth and thick enough to pipe.
6. Spoon the filling into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
7. Pipe the filling into each egg white, building upward in layers to create Christmas tree shapes.
8. Decorate each tree with pomegranate arils or diced red pepper.
9. Add a tiny cheddar star on top of each tree and sprinkle smoked paprika around the base.
10. Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Make sure the filling is thick before piping. If it is too loose, the trees will not hold their shape, so chill the filling for 10 to 15 minutes before piping if needed.
