Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Base
- 12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
- 4 oz softened cream cheese (about 1/2 a block)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
Flavor Enhancers
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp pickle juice
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Toppings
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs: Gently place the eggs into a large pot and fill with cold water so it covers the eggs by about 2 inches.
- Cook the Eggs: Bring the water to a rolling boil, then turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for 12 minutes to cook through.
- Cool and Peel Eggs: Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier. Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully.
- Process the Base: In a food processor, combine the peeled eggs, softened cream cheese, and mayonnaise. Pulse several times until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Seasonings: Add the yellow mustard, pickle juice, hot sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Pulse again until all ingredients are well combined.
- Transfer and Garnish: Spoon the dip into a serving bowl. Sprinkle the top with paprika and chopped fresh chives for flavor and color.
- Chill the Dip: For best flavor and texture, refrigerate the dip for at least one hour before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for the best taste and texture in the dip.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce depending on your preferred spice level.
- This dip can be served with crackers, vegetable sticks, or toasted bread slices.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked and peeled eggs, but fresh boiling yields the best results.
