Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 10 large eggs
Dip Mixture
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons sweet relish
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 1 ½ teaspoons yellow mustard
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
Garnish
- Paprika, for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and fill with water to cover them by ½ inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan, remove it from heat, and let the eggs stand covered for 15 to 17 minutes to cook through.
- Cool the Eggs: Prepare a medium bowl with ice water. Transfer the cooked eggs into this ice bath and let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Peel the eggs under running cool water to remove shells easily.
- Process the Dip: Add the peeled eggs to a food processor and pulse a few times until they are coarsely chopped. Add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, sweet relish, white vinegar, yellow mustard, onion powder, and salt. Pulse the mixture until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed to combine evenly.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika for color and a touch of flavor. Serve with crackers, vegetables, or bread for dipping.

- This dip can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; let it come to room temperature before serving for optimal texture.
