Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 hard boiled eggs, chopped
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet relish (or dill relish)
  • 1 tablespoon ground mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon paprika (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon chives, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Hard Boiling Eggs: You can either use the Instant Pot or stove top method to hard boil the eggs. For the Instant Pot, place eggs on a trivet with 1 cup of water, pressure cook for 6 minutes, natural release 6 minutes, then quick release and ice bath for 6 minutes before peeling. For stove top, cover eggs in cold water, bring to boil, cover and turn off heat, let sit 10-12 minutes, then ice bath for 5 minutes before peeling.
  2. Prepare the Creamy Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Season the Dip: Add salt, ground black pepper, ground mustard, and sweet relish to the creamy mixture. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
  4. Add the Eggs: Chop the peeled hard boiled eggs into small pieces and gently fold them into the creamy mixture, keeping some texture in the dip.
  5. Finish with Herbs and Garnish: Stir in the chopped chives or green onions if using. Sprinkle the top of the dip with paprika for color and a hint of smoky flavor.
  6. Serve or Store: Serve the dip immediately with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. The flavors meld nicely when chilled.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, use dill relish instead of sweet relish.
  • The dip can be made a day ahead and refrigerated for enhanced flavor.
  • Use fresh chives or green onions for a mild onion flavor; green onions add more bite.
  • Make sure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smooth texture.
  • Serve with your choice of crackers, pita chips, or raw vegetables like celery and carrots.
