Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 12 eggs
Dip Base
- ½ cup mayonnaise (full fat and organic)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (full fat)
- 2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon red hot sauce (optional)
Seasonings & Garnish
- 1 teaspoon chives (chopped)
- ¼ teaspoon paprika or cayenne pepper (or smoked paprika)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Additional 1 teaspoon chives (chopped) for garnish
Instructions
- Peel the eggs: Start by peeling your boiled eggs carefully to prepare them for the dip.
- Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, letting it boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and let the eggs sit in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Then, transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Alternatively, boil for 7 minutes and then cool in cold water.
- Peel and separate: Peel the cooled eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Place the egg yolks in a food processor.
- Chop the whites: Add half of the egg whites to the food processor with the yolks. Finely chop the remaining egg whites by hand and set aside in a medium bowl.
- Make it creamy: To the food processor, add mayonnaise, stone ground mustard, white wine vinegar, cream cheese, and red hot sauce (if using). Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Stir together: Transfer the creamy mixture to the bowl containing the chopped egg whites. Season with salt and pepper and add chopped chives. Gently stir everything together until well combined.
- Transfer to serving bowl: Spoon the dip mixture into a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Garnish: Garnish the dip with additional chopped chives for a fresh finish.
- Store it: If not serving immediately, store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator or keep it covered with plastic wrap in a serving bowl. Add the paprika and chives garnish just before serving.
- Enjoy: Serve and enjoy this delicious Deviled Eggs Dip as an appetizer or snack!
