Ingredients
Scale
- 6 Hard-Boiled Eggs (Fresh Cooked or Store Bought)
- 1 1/2 Large Avocados
- 2 tbsp Mayo
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp Chili Powder
- 1/2 tsp Everything Bagel Seasoning
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/8 tsp Pepper
- 1/4 block of White Cheese (Mozzarella or White Cheddar)
- Lime Juice from 1/2 of a Lime
- Cilantro for garnish
- Red Pepper Flakes for garnish
- 6 drops of Green Food Coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Hard boil 6 eggs and peel the white shell off or buy pre-made hardboiled eggs like I did to make this super easy!
- Place eggs on a cutting board and slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove the egg yolks. They should pop out easily if you flip them over and press on it lightly.
- Flip the white half over with the hole facing down and slice off a tiny bit to flatten out the bottom. See my notes above on this step.
- Add all the egg yolks to a medium bowl and combine with the avocados, mayo, garlic powder, chili powder, everything bagel seasoning, salt, pepper, and lime juice. I used an electric hand mixer for this part.
- Place mixture into a Ziploc bag or piping bag. (see above instructions on my plastic bag method)
- Place the hard boiled egg whites into a deviled egg tray or plate and gently squeeze mixture into the cavity. If using a round tray or plate, start in the middle so you don’t have to reach over eggs that have already been filled. You will want to do this in a three squeeze up and down motion to get the tiered effect of the Christmas tree. Be careful not to overfill as they get top heavy.
- Sprinkle the tops of the eggs with additional chili powder, cilantro, red pepper flakes, and freshly shredded cheese.
- Top with cheese stars. See notes above on how to make the stars.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
