These Christmas Tree Deviled Eggs Will Fly Off the Party Tray

Yields: 24 servings

Prep Time: 15 mins

Total Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• 12

  hard-cooked eggs

• 2

  ripe but firm avocados

• 1/4 c.

  mayonnaise

• 2 tbsp.

  Dijon mustard

• 2 tsp.

  prepared horseradish

• 1

  drop green food coloring

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 1

  yellow bell pepper

• Smoked Paprika, for garnish

Directions

1. Cut eggs in half and remove yolks. Puree yolks, avocado, mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish, in a food processor until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add food coloring and pulse to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Transfer to a pipping bag fitted with a star-shaped tip. Pipe mixture back into egg whites creating Christmas tree shapes. Chill.

3. Peel pepper then cut into wide strips, removing any pith and seeds. Cut out 24 star shapes using a small star-shaped plunger. Top trees with stars and lightly sprinkle with smoked paprika.

Tip: A fondant plunger works best for making the yellow pepper star toppers. If the pepper seems too thick, try shaving it down, a little at a time, until it's the right thickness for the plunger.
