Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Large Eggs
  • 1 medium Ripe Avocado peeled and pitted
  • 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1/8 tsp Black Pepper or to taste
  • 6 Pretzel Sticks broken in half, for garnish
  • 1 tbsp Red Bell Pepper finely diced, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Piping bag with star tip

Instructions
 

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool completely.
  2. Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl.
  3. To the bowl with the yolks, add the avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mash with a fork until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the filling into the egg white halves, starting with a wide base and building up in a zig-zag motion to a point to resemble a Christmas tree.
  5. Insert a piece of a pretzel stick into the base of each tree for a trunk. Top each tree with a tiny piece of finely diced red bell pepper for a star. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Notes

Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the egg whites and the filling up to 24 hours in advance. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Assemble just before serving for the best results.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
