Eggs
Dip Base
- ½ cup mayonnaise (full fat and organic)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (full fat)
- 2 tablespoon stone ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon red hot sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chives (chopped)
Garnish
- ¼ teaspoon paprika or cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon chives (chopped)
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and continue boiling for 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and let the eggs cook in the residual hot water for about 10-12 minutes. Alternatively, boil the eggs for 7 minutes directly. Then, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, making them easier to peel.
- Peel and Separate: Once cooled, peel the eggs. Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg yolks in a food processor. Add about half of the chopped egg whites to the food processor and finely chop the remaining egg whites, setting them aside in a medium bowl for later mixing.
- Make the Dip Mixture: To the food processor with yolks and some chopped egg whites, add mayonnaise, stone ground mustard, white wine vinegar, cream cheese, and optional red hot sauce. Process everything until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
- Combine Ingredients: Transfer the creamy yolk mixture to the bowl containing the remaining chopped egg whites. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Add the chopped chives and gently fold all the ingredients together, ensuring an even mix without breaking up the egg whites too much.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the top with paprika for a mild smoky flavor or cayenne pepper for added spice. Garnish with additional chopped chives. Serve immediately or prepare ahead.
- Storage: If not serving immediately, store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, place the dip in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and garnish with paprika and chives just before serving to keep it fresh and visually appealing.
Notes
- For best texture, use full-fat mayonnaise and cream cheese.
- The red hot sauce is optional and can be adjusted based on spice preference.
- Chilling the dip for at least an hour before serving enhances the flavors.
- Can be served with crackers, fresh vegetables, or toasted bread slices.
- To make peeling easier, crack the eggs all over and roll them gently before peeling.
