Ingredients

  • 12 eggs

  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon red hot sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chives (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: If needed, place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes.

  5. Step 5: Transfer the creamy mixture to the bowl with the chopped egg whites. Season generously with salt and pepper, add chopped chives, and gently stir everything together.
  6. Step 6: Spoon the dip into a serving bowl. Sprinkle with paprika or cayenne pepper for a bit of color and spice. Garnish with extra chopped chives and serve immediately.

Seasonings and Garnish

  • 1 teaspoon chives (chopped), plus additional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Peel the eggs: If you have leftover boiled eggs, start by peeling them carefully and separating the egg whites from the yolks.

  5. Make the creamy base: To the food processor with yolks and half the whites, add mayonnaise, mustard, white wine vinegar, cream cheese, and hot sauce (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
  6. Combine and season: Transfer the creamy mixture back to the bowl with the finely chopped egg whites. Season with salt and pepper, add chopped chives, and gently stir everything together until well mixed.
  7. Transfer to serving bowl: Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika or cayenne pepper according to your preferred spice level.
  8. Garnish and serve: Garnish with additional chopped chives and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
  9. Store properly: If not serving right away, store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Cover with plastic wrap if stored in a serving bowl, and garnish just before serving to maintain freshness.
  10. Enjoy: Scoop with crackers, chips, or vegetables, and enjoy your delicious deviled eggs dip.

Notes

  • This dip can be made a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated.
  • Use full-fat mayonnaise and cream cheese for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce and paprika or cayenne pepper according to your spice preference.
  • Chopped chives add a fresh onion-like flavor; you can substitute with green onions if desired.
  • Serve with crackers, toasted bread, or vegetable sticks for a versatile appetizer option.
  • Make sure eggs are fully cooled before peeling to avoid tearing the whites.
