Ingredients:
Ingredient | Quantity |
---|---|
Hard-boiled eggs, peeled | 12 |
Cream cheese, softened | 1 (8 oz) package |
Mayonnaise | 1/2 cup |
Yellow mustard | 2 tablespoons |
White vinegar | 1 ½ tablespoons |
Paprika | 1 teaspoon |
Salt | 1 teaspoon |
Black pepper | A pinch |
Cayenne pepper | A pinch |
Chopped chives | 2 teaspoons, divided |

Instructions:
- Get the Eggs Ready: Start by placing 6 of the peeled, hard-boiled eggs whole into the bowl of a large food processor. With the remaining 6 eggs, slice them in half and add just the yolks to the processor along with the whole eggs. Set aside the whites from these 6 eggs for later.
- Create the Creamy Base: Into the food processor, add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, paprika, salt, black pepper, a dash of cayenne, and 1 teaspoon of chopped chives. Blend on high speed until everything is thoroughly mixed into a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Add Egg Whites and Finish the Dip: Roughly chop the reserved egg whites and stir them by hand into the creamy egg mixture to add a bit of texture. Spoon the finished dip into a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of chopped chives and a dash of paprika for color. If you like, you can add some sliced pickles on top for garnish.
- Serve and Enjoy: Chill the dip before serving, and pair it with crackers, pretzels, or crunchy veggie sticks—whatever you prefer!
