Cooking Steps
- Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil on medium-high heat, then gently lower large eggs into the boiling water. Cook for exactly 9.5 minutes and transfer to an ice bath for 10 minutes.
- Once cooled, tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shells, peel each egg, slice in half horizontally, and scoop yolks into a mixing bowl. Trim a small portion from the bottom of the egg whites for stability.
- In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of butter over medium heat, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds, add a cup of spinach, and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Let cool before adding to yolks.
- In the yolk mixing bowl, combine spinach, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, smoked paprika, hot sauce, and potato flakes. Blend until smooth and creamy, then chill for 30 minutes.
- Transfer filling to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe into egg white halves, shaping into festive tree forms with a larger base tapering at the top.
- Insert diced red Fresno chili pepper into the piped filling for ornaments and place yellow bell pepper star cutouts on top.
- Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over each deviled egg, arrange on a platter, and serve immediately.

Notes
Trim the bottoms of the egg whites for stability. Use toothpicks for securing decorations if needed.
