How to Make Deviled Egg Dip

You’ll find this dip far simpler than preparing traditional deviled eggs!

1. Boil the Eggs

Start by placing the eggs in a large pot and covering them with water, ensuring the water rises about two inches above the eggs. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.

2. Cool and Peel

Transfer the cooked eggs immediately to an ice bath to halt the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs under cold running water for easier removal of the shell.

3. Prepare the Eggs

Quarter the peeled eggs. Combine them with the softened cream cheese in a food processor and pulse several times until roughly chopped.

4. Mix the Filling

Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon of paprika, salt, and pepper to the processor, then pulse to mix. Pour in the vinegar and hot sauce (if using), then process until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

5. Garnish

Transfer the mixture into a serving bowl and sprinkle with additional paprika and fresh, chopped chives for garnish.

6. Chill and Serve

For the best flavor and texture, chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving. Pair it with crackers and fresh vegetables for an exciting snack. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Deviled Egg Dip

• Perfect the Eggs: Make sure to boil the eggs correctly, avoiding overcooking to keep them creamy. An ice bath helps to cool them rapidly and make peeling easier.
• Soften the Cream Cheese: Let cream cheese reach room temperature before mixing to ensure smooth blending and eliminate lumps.
• Quality Matters: Use a high-quality mayonnaise as it can significantly enhance the richness and creaminess of the dip.
• Balance Acidity: Adjust the vinegar and mustard depending on how tangy you prefer the dip.
• Don’t Skip the Hot Sauce! Even a small amount can add depth to the flavor. Choose your spice level according to your taste!
• Give It Chill Time: Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving so that the flavors can meld beautifully together.
