Preparation Steps
- Start by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Gently lower the large eggs into the water and let them cook for precisely 9.5 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool.
- After about 10 minutes in the ice bath, peel each egg and cut them in half horizontally. Scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, keeping the white halves intact.
- Chill the egg yolks in the fridge. Trim the bottom of the egg whites slightly for stability.
- In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
- In a blender, combine egg yolks, spinach mixture, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, smoked paprika, hot sauce, and potato flakes. Blend until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture into a piping bag with a star-shaped tip. Pipe the filling into the egg whites, creating tree-like shapes.
- Insert minced red Fresno chili pepper into each filled egg as ornaments and place a yellow bell pepper star on top. Grate Parmesan cheese over for garnish.
- Arrange on a platter and serve.
