Ingredients
Scale
- 7 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced thin
- 5 oz baby spinach
- 1/3 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/2 lemon (juice)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons dehydrated potato flakes
- 1 red fresno chili pepper, minced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into small stars
- Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil and add the eggs. Cook them for 9.5 minutes for a hard boil. Transfer them to an ice bath to cool.
- Peel and rinse the eggs. Slice them in half horizontally (short way). Try to cut the yolk in half.
- Cut the bottom tips off the eggs to allow them to stand up straight without puncturing the cavity.
- For the filling, melt butter in a pan and sauté the garlic. Add the spinach and cook for about 5 minutes until wilted. Allow to cool.
- In a blender, add the spinach mixture, egg yolks, mayo, mustard, lemon juice, paprika, hot sauce, and potato flakes. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate to cool further.
- If the mixture is not thick enough, add more potato flakes. Transfer to a piping bag with a star tip.
- Place the egg whites on a serving platter. Pipe the filling into the egg whites to create tree shapes.
- Use toothpicks to attach diced red pepper as ornaments. Top with a yellow pepper star.
- Grate parmesan cheese over the deviled eggs to create a snowy effect. Serve immediately.
