Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • medium saucepan with lid
  • spoons

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ cup dill pickle relish drained well
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 tablespoon finely sliced fresh chives or 1 teaspoon dried chives
  • smoked paprika for garnish

Instructions

  • Cook the eggs: Add the eggs to a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover the pan, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
  • Cool and peel: Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Peel the eggs, then separate the yolks from the whites.
  • Make the creamy base: Mash the egg yolks in a mixing bowl until broken down. Add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until smooth.
  • Add the mix-ins: Finely chop the egg whites and fold them into the yolk mixture along with the drained pickle relish, dill, and chives.
  • Chill the dip: Spoon the dip into a serving bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. This helps the texture firm up and allows the flavors to blend.
  • Serve and garnish: Sprinkle the top with smoked paprika, dill, and chives before serving.

Notes

  • Finely chop the egg whites for the best texture. Small pieces make the spread easier to scoop.
  • Let the cream cheese soften before mixing.
  • Drain the relish before measuring if it’s very wet. Too much liquid can thin things down.
  • Chill before judging the final flavor. The Dijon, hot sauce, herbs, salt, and egg settle together after resting.
  • Tastes flat? Add a small pinch of salt or a few extra drops of hot sauce.
  • Too thick after chilling? Stir in a small spoonful of mayonnaise until it loosens.
  • Too loose? Chill it longer before serving. Cream cheese firms back up in the fridge.
  • If the egg whites are chopped too large, the spread can feel chunky instead of scoopable.
