Ingredients
  

Deviled Eggs
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • pinch black pepper
Decoration
  • 2-3 fresh dill sprigs for 'pine needles'
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds or small red bell pepper pieces for 'ornaments'
  • 6 star-shaped cheese or bell pepper pieces for 'stars' on top
  • 2-3 drops green food coloring optional, for green eggs

Equipment

  • saucepan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Piping bag
  • Star tip

Method
 

Prepare the Deviled Eggs
  1. Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 12 minutes.
  2. Drain eggs, transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel and slice each egg in half lengthwise.
  3. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl; arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.
  4. Mash the yolks, then mix in mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, and optional green food coloring until smooth.
Assemble and Decorate
  1. Scoop the yolk mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe a mound into each egg white half, shaping it like a small tree.
  2. Decorate each 'tree' with small pieces of fresh dill to resemble pine needles, and add pomegranate seeds or small red bell pepper pieces as 'ornaments'.
  3. Place a small star-shaped piece of cheese or bell pepper on top of each deviled egg 'tree' for the final touch.
  4. Chill the deviled egg Christmas trees for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor and stability.

Notes

For best results, use eggs that are a few days old as they are easier to peel. Chill thoroughly before serving.
