THE BEST CHRISTMAS DEVILED EGGS RECIPE
Christmas Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs make a great meal or side dish for any holiday, but we especially love them for Christmas breakfast. This year, treat your guests to a delicious treat and try this Christmas egg recipe. The dressing uses all the favorites, including mayonnaise, mustard, and pickle relish, and enhances the green color and flavor with the heavy addition of herbs like parsley and dill. Garnish with a little red pepper for a festive finish!
How to decorate Christmas deviled eggs?
Once the filling is crushed, the decorating fun begins! If you are looking for an intense green color, more than what the herbs provide, just add a couple of drops of green liquid food colouring. Next, put the filling in a zip-top plastic bag (which can replace a piping bag and pinch), remove the corner, and pipe to fill the white space of the fabric. Next, draw a small triangle on top of the hole to look like a Christmas tree! Chopped red pepper gives a nice flavor, but you can also add chopped chili pepper or use a little yellow pepper for a stem or star on top.
