Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 12 eggs
Dressing
- ½ cup full fat, organic mayonnaise
- 4 ounces full fat cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon red hot sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chopped chives
Garnish
- ¼ teaspoon paprika or cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon chopped chives
Instructions
- Boil the eggs. Place 12 eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let them cook in the residual hot water for 10-12 minutes. Alternatively, boil eggs for 7 minutes and immediately cool under cold running water or ice bath.
- Peel and separate. Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully. Separate the yolks from the whites. Set aside the whites and place the yolks into a food processor.
- Chop egg whites. Add about half of the egg whites to the food processor for processing, and finely chop the remaining half to keep in a medium mixing bowl.
- Blend the dip base. Add mayonnaise, cream cheese, stone ground mustard, white wine vinegar, and optional hot sauce to the food processor with the yolks and egg white halves. Process until smooth and creamy.
- Combine ingredients. Transfer the smooth mixture into the bowl with the chopped egg whites. Season with salt and pepper to taste, add chopped chives, and stir gently until well combined.
- Garnish and serve. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with paprika or cayenne pepper for heat, and garnish with additional chopped chives. Serve immediately or chill for later.
- Storage. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If serving later, garnish right before serving for freshness.
Notes
- This dip is best served chilled but can be enjoyed at room temperature as well.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce and cayenne pepper to control the spiciness according to your preference.
- For a smoother texture, ensure the cream cheese is softened before blending.
- Use fresh chives for garnish to add a mild onion flavor and vibrant color.
- Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days refrigerated.
