If you're serving deviled eggs for New Year's, make them into charming, decorated Christmas trees! Avocado and fresh herbs are added to the yolk filling, creating a green color. Pipe tall Christmas trees into the egg white halves using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip, and attach a small star to each tree using a bell pepper. Decorate each tree with paprika and, if desired, cut out small ornaments from the bell peppers.

• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Preparation:

Step 1
• Fill a large saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs, then bring to a boil. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Run the eggs under cold water to cool completely.
Step 2
• Peel the eggs, halve them, and scrape the yolks into the bowl of a food processor. Add the mayonnaise, parsley, cilantro, pickles and brine, mustard, lime juice, sugar, vinegar, avocado, and a pinch of salt and black pepper, and process until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe it into the egg whites, filling each half with a tall mound of filling (depending on how high you mound the eggs, you may not have enough filling for all the egg white halves; set the remainder aside for another use).
Step 3
• Using a small knife or a small star-shaped cookie cutter, cut stars out of the yellow pepper. Place one star on top of each mound of filling. Sprinkle with smoked paprika.
