Christmas Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are a fantastic snack or side dish for any holiday, but they’re especially delightful for Christmas breakfast or lunch. This year, add a festive twist with this Christmas deviled egg recipe. The filling includes classic ingredients like mayo, mustard, and pickle relish, but gets an extra pop of green color and flavor from fresh herbs like parsley and dill. Finish them off with a sprinkle of chopped red bell pepper for a cheerful holiday touch!
Ingredients
- 1 dozen eggs
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp. mustard
- 3 Tbsp. dill pickle relish
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill, plus more for serving
- 1 drop green food coloring, optional
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with about 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 12 minutes.
- Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and transfer to a large bowl of ice water. Let cool for 2 minutes. Remove each egg from the water; tap the top and bottom gently on the counter, then return the eggs to the ice water for 10 more minutes. Peel the eggs.
- Halve the eggs lengthwise and remove the yolks.
- Combine the egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish, parsley, dill, green food coloring (if using), salt and black pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Process for 1 to 2 minutes to break down the herbs and combine well, scraping the sides and base of the bowl as needed. Remove the mixture and transfer to a large pastry bag, or zip top plastic bag. Snip the corner of the bag with scissors, to make a 1/2-inch wide cut.
- Place the tip of the bag into the empty hole of one egg-white half. Pipe the filling just until it fills the hole. Then, draw a triangle around the edges of the filling, to resemble a Christmas tree. Repeat with all the egg halves.
- Sprinkle chopped red pepper over top of the trees. Sprinkle with more chopped, fresh dill, if you like. Serve immediately or store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
