6 large eggs hard-boiled and peeled
1 medium ripe avocado substitute with steamed spinach purée for a different twist
4 oz cream cheese opt for dairy-free cream cheese for a vegan version
2 tablespoon lemon juice fresh lemon is preferred
2 tablespoon mayonnaise optional; can be omitted or swapped for vegan mayo
1 teaspoon garlic powder fresh garlic can be used sparingly

1 medium red bell pepper substitute with finely diced pomegranate seeds or cherry tomatoes for variety
2 tablespoon chives can be replaced with green onions or omitted
salt adjust to taste
pepper adjust to taste
1 teaspoon smoked paprika for dusting

Hard-boil the eggs by placing them in a pot covered with water. Bring to a boil, then cover and let simmer for 9-12 minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool before peeling.
Cut each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks into a mixing bowl.
Mash the yolks with the ripe avocado, cream cheese, lemon juice, mayonnaise (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip with the yolk mixture.
Pipe the mixture high into swirls on each egg white, resembling tree shapes.
Decorate your trees with chopped red bell pepper and chives, resembling ornaments and garland.
Chill the decorated egg trees in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.

Use a star-shaped piping tip for best presentation. Make the filling a day in advance for optimal freshness and assemble just before serving.
