How to Make Deviled Egg Dip

This dip is much easier than traditional deviled eggs!

1. Boil the eggs. Place the eggs in a large pot and cover them with water, ensuring the water is about 2 inches above the eggs. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.

2. Cool and peel. Transfer the cooked eggs to an ice bath to cool and stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs under cold running water to make peeling easier.

3. Prepare the eggs. Quarter the peeled eggs. Place them and the softened cream cheese in a food processor. Pulse several times until the mixture is roughly chopped.

4. Mix the filling. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, salt, and pepper to the processor and pulse to combine. Add the vinegar and hot sauce (if using), then process until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

5. Garnish. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Garnish with a light sprinkle of paprika and the chopped chives.

6. Chill and serve. For the best flavor and texture, chill the dish in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving. Serve with crackers and fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Deviled Egg Dip

• Perfect the eggs. Boil the eggs properly to ensure they are fully cooked but not overdone. Use an ice bath immediately after boiling to make peeling easier and to maintain a creamy texture.

• Get the cream cheese nice and soft. Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature before using. This ensures it blends smoothly with the other ingredients, preventing lumps.

• Quality is key. Opt for a high-quality mayonnaise for the best flavor, as it impacts the richness and creaminess of the dip.

• Balance the acidity. The distilled white vinegar and Dijon mustard provide the necessary tang. Adjust these to taste if you prefer a more or less pronounced acidity.

• Don’t skip the hot sauce! Even if you’re not a fan of spice, a dash of hot sauce adds depth and subtle heat. Use Sriracha for a sweeter heat or Tabasco for more tang.

• Give it some chill time. Refrigerate the dip for at least an hour before serving. This helps the flavors meld and enhances the overall taste.

How to Store

Here’s how to keep your dip fresh and party-ready!

To Store: Store the dip in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For the best results, give the dip a quick stir before serving and add any garnishes just before serving.
