Humpty Dumpty Dip is a warm, cheesy egg dip perfect for parties and gatherings. This savory dish combines hard-boiled eggs with creamy mayonnaise, sharp cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon, all baked to bubbly perfection and topped with fresh green onions and paprika for a flavorful appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 8 large eggs

Base Mixture

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Add-Ins

  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices cooked bacon (crumbled, divided)
  • 2 green onions (finely chopped)

To Serve

  • Crackers, chips, or toasted bread slices

Instructions

  1. Cook the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit for 10 to 12 minutes to finish cooking.
  2. Peel and Chop Eggs: Drain the hot water and run cold water over the eggs to cool them down. Peel the eggs carefully, then chop them into small pieces.
  3. Mix the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce (if using), paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  4. Combine Eggs with Base: Add the chopped eggs to the mixture and stir until the eggs are evenly coated with the seasoned mayonnaise.
  5. Add Cheese and Bacon: Mix in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and half of the crumbled cooked bacon, stirring until combined.
  6. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  7. Bake the Dip: Spread the egg and cheese mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes until the dip is hot and bubbly.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and sprinkle the remaining crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and a pinch of paprika on top. Serve warm with crackers, chips, or toasted bread slices for dipping.

Notes

  • For a spicier dip, increase the amount of hot sauce or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with your preferred sharp cheese like Monterey Jack or Gouda.
  • If desired, prepare eggs ahead of time and refrigerate to speed up assembly.
  • Ensure eggs are fully peeled and chopped finely for the smoothest dip texture.
  • This dip is best served warm but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
