Ingredients You’ll Need

8 hard-boiled eggs, chopped: The star of the show! Make sure to chop them finely for a creamy texture.
4 ounces cream cheese, softened: This adds richness and flavor. Let it sit out for about 30 minutes to soften if you forget to take it out beforehand.
½ cup mayonnaise: Use full-fat for a creamier dip, or substitute with low-fat mayonnaise if preferred.
2 tablespoons sweet relish or dill relish: Sweet relish will give a hint of sweetness, whereas dill relish adds a tangy kick. Choose based on your palate.
1 tablespoon ground mustard: This elevates the flavor profile, but you can use Dijon or yellow mustard based on your taste.
¼ teaspoon salt: Enhances all the flavors without being overpowering.
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper: A touch of warmth that balances the creaminess.
⅛ teaspoon paprika for garnish: Brightens up the dip visually and offers a subtle flavor hint.
1 tablespoon chives: Freshly chopped chives add a nice color pop and a mild onion flavor.

How to Make Deviled Egg Dip

Prepare the Eggs: Start by cooking your eggs. For the instant pot, place the eggs on a trivet, add 1 cup of water, lock the lid, and cook at high pressure for 6 minutes. Allow to naturally release for 6 minutes before quick-releasing any remaining pressure. Transfer to an ice bath for about 6 minutes, then peel. For stovetop cooking, place the eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Then, transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes before peeling.
Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Use an electric mixer to blend them until smooth with no lumps.
Add Flavorings: Stir in salt, pepper, ground mustard, and your choice of relish until everything is well integrated.
Incorporate the Eggs: Finely chop the hard-boiled eggs and carefully fold them into the creamy mixture. Mixing just enough to blend, but not too much to lose the egg pieces’ texture.
Garnish and Serve: If desired, stir in the chopped chives or green onions for some freshness. Finally, sprinkle paprika on top for color and presentation.
Enjoy! Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate if you’re making this ahead of time.

Storing & Reheating

Once prepared, store the Deviled Egg Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Unfortunately, it’s not suitable to leave out at room temperature for more than 2 hours. While I recommend enjoying this dip cold, you can gently reheat it in the microwave if you prefer a warm treat—just be cautious not to overheat, as it may alter the creamy texture.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid over-mixing the eggs; you want that delightful texture in your dip.
For best results, make this dip a few hours ahead to let the flavors meld!
If you’re short on time, pre-cooked, peeled eggs from the grocery store work well too.
Experiment with your relish: dill adds brightness, while sweet offers a comforting note; find your favorite balance!
Add a splash of lemon juice for an extra layer of flavor and brightness.

If you’re looking for a dip that provides all the nostalgic flavor of deviled eggs but is oh-so-easy to share, this recipe is a keeper. You might just find yourself making it more often than you initially planned! Enjoy your culinary adventure!
