Ingredients
Scale
7 large eggs
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic (sliced thin)
5 oz baby spinach
1/3 cup mayonnaise
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)
Instructions
Start by placing the seven large eggs in a pot filled with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit in hot water for 10-12 minutes. Afterward, transfer them to an ice bath to cool down.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt two tablespoons of butter. Add sliced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then add baby spinach and cook until wilted.
Peel the cooled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Add mayo, mustard, lemon juice, smoked paprika, hot sauce, sautéed spinach mixture, and dehydrated potato flakes. Mix until smooth.
Fill each egg white half with the mixture using a spoon or piping bag. Stack them vertically like trees on your serving platter.
Sprinkle minced red fresno chili over the top for ornaments. Use yellow bell pepper stars to decorate each tree’s tip.
