Ingredients
Scale
12 large hard-boiled eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 drops green food coloring
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup crushed pretzels
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Eggs – Start by hard boiling your eggs. Place them in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let them sit covered for another 10 minutes.
Step 2: Peel and Slice – Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl while keeping the whites intact.
Step 3: Mix the Filling – Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and green food coloring to the egg yolks. Mash until you achieve a smooth consistency, enhancing the flavors to fit your festive needs.
Step 4: Fill the Egg Whites – Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. For an extra touch, create a fun tree shape by piling the filling high.
Step 5: Decorate the Trees – Top your trees with halved cherry tomatoes for ornaments. Sprinkle the crushed pretzels for a crunchy texture, mimicking a snowy base, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for a pop of green.
Step 6: Chill Before Serving – Let the deviled eggs chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. This enhances the flavors and makes serving easier.
Notes
