Deviled Eggs Dip Recipe
Ingredients:
- 12 eggs
- 1/2 cup full-fat organic mayonnaise
- 4 ounces full-fat cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon red hot sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chopped chives
Garnish:
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika or cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon chopped chives
Instructions:
1. If you have leftover boiled eggs, peel them and separate the egg whites from the egg yolks.
2. If you need to boil your eggs, place them in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, boil for 2-3 minutes, then remove the saucepan from the heat and let the eggs cook in the hot water for about 10-12 minutes using residual heat.
3. Pour off the hot water and place the eggs in a bowl full of ice water to cool. Alternatively, you can boil the eggs for 7 minutes and then cool them under cold running water.
4. Peel and separate the eggs, adding the egg yolks to a food processor.
5. Add the egg whites to a medium bowl. Add about half of the egg whites to the food processor, finely chop the remaining egg whites, and set aside in the bowl.
6. Add mayonnaise, mustard, white wine vinegar, cream cheese, and hot sauce to the food processor. Process until smooth and creamy.
7. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the chopped egg whites. Season with salt and pepper, add chopped chives and gently stir everything together.
8. Transfer to a dip serving bowl, sprinkle with paprika or cayenne pepper, and garnish with chopped chives.
9. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge. If serving later, cover with plastic wrap and garnish right before serving.
