Instructions
Using a sharp knife, slice eggs in half lengthwise.
12 hard-boiled eggs
Scoop out the yolks with a spoon and place them in a small bowl. Mash well until they're finely crumbled.
Combine yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, sweet relish, rosemary, garlic salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth. If you are having trouble getting the yolks smooth, use a hand or stand mixer.
1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/3 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons sweet relish, 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon coarse ground garlic salt with parsley, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Fill egg whites with yolk mixture. I used a piping bag with a decorative tip, but you could also spoon the yolk filling right into the whites.
Arrange egg whites on a cutting board or serving platter in the shape of a Christmas tree. Sprinkle with paprika and rosemary. Then add rosemary sprigs and cranberries for garnish between the eggs.

Notes
Place the eggs in ice water for a bit after boiling to make them easier to peel.
Chop the rosemary as finely as possible so every bite has flavor without any big pieces.
Mash the yolks well, since smoother yolks make a creamier filling. A mixer can help smooth out any lumps.
Use a piping bag to fill the eggs quickly and make them look a little fancier. A zip-loc bag with the corner cut off works too.
Store the eggs in the refrigerator until it’s time to serve. Don't let them sit out longer than 2 hours.
