Eggs
- 12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
Dip Base
- 4 oz softened cream cheese (1/2 a block)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp pickle juice
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Garnish
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Gently place your eggs into a large pot and fill with water until it covers the eggs by about 2 inches. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
- Cook the Eggs: Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes to cook through.
- Cool and Peel: After 12 minutes, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully.
- Process Base Ingredients: Add the peeled hard-boiled eggs, softened cream cheese, and mayonnaise to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Flavors: Incorporate the yellow mustard, pickle juice, hot sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper into the processor. Pulse again until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Assemble the Dip: Transfer the dip into a serving bowl. Sprinkle the top with paprika and freshly chopped chives for color and added flavor.
- Chill (Optional): If possible, refrigerate the dip for at least one hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and improve the texture.
Notes
- For best texture, ensure cream cheese is softened before blending.
- If you prefer less heat, reduce or omit the hot sauce.
- Pickle juice adds tanginess; adjust the amount to taste.
- This dip pairs wonderfully with crackers, fresh vegetables, or toasted bread slices.
- Can be made a day in advance and refrigerated for deeper flavor.
