Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 8 hard boiled eggs, chopped

Dip Base

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet relish (or dill relish)

Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon ground mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon paprika (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hard Boiled Eggs: You can hard boil the eggs using either the Instant Pot or stovetop method. For the Instant Pot, place eggs on a trivet with 1 cup water, pressure cook for 6 minutes, then natural release for 6 minutes followed by quick release. Cool in ice water for 6 minutes and peel. For stovetop, cover eggs with cold water in a saucepan, bring to boiling, then cover and remove from heat for 10-12 minutes. Cool in ice bath for 5 minutes and peel.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Mayonnaise: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Seasonings and Relish: Stir in salt, pepper, ground mustard, and sweet or dill relish. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
  4. Incorporate the Eggs: Chop the peeled hard boiled eggs into small pieces and gently fold them into the creamy mixture, ensuring the eggs are evenly distributed without smashing them.
  5. Finish and Garnish: Optionally, stir in chopped chives or green onions for freshness, and sprinkle the top with paprika for an appealing color and subtle smoky flavor.
  6. Serve or Store: Serve the dip immediately with crackers, bread, or vegetables, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. The dip stays good for up to 3 days refrigerated.

Notes

  • For a spicier twist, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper.
  • Sweet relish can be substituted with dill relish based on preference.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
  • This dip pairs well with pita chips, celery sticks, or toasted baguette slices.
  • Leftover dip can be used as a sandwich spread or filling.
