Ingredients

12 hard-cooked eggs
2 ripe but firm avocados
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. prepared horseradish
1 drop green food coloring
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
Smoked Paprika, for garnish

Directions

1. Step 1Cut eggs in half and remove yolks. Puree yolks, avocado, mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish, in a food processor until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add food coloring and pulse to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Step 2Transfer to a pipping bag fitted with a star-shaped tip. Pipe mixture back into egg whites creating Christmas tree shapes. Chill.
3. Step 3Peel pepper then cut into wide strips, removing any pith and seeds. Cut out 24 star shapes using a small star-shaped plunger. Top trees with stars and lightly sprinkle with smoked paprika.

Tip: A fondant plunger works best for making the yellow pepper star toppers. If the pepper seems too thick, try shaving it down, a little at a time, until it's the right thickness for the plunger.
