👩🍳 How to Make Humpty Dumpty Deviled Egg Dip
I promised you versatile, and here’s proof!
Step 1:
Roughly chop all the hard-boiled eggs. Set aside 3 chopped egg whites for texture.
Step 2:
In a food processor, combine yolks, 9 whole chopped eggs, cream cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 3:
Fold in the reserved egg whites and half the chives.

Transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle remaining chives on top and garnish with pickle slices, if using.

🍽️ What to Serve With This Dip
- Toasted baguette rounds
- Celery sticks, carrot sticks, sliced cucumbers
- Pretzel chips or tortilla scoops
- As a spread on sandwiches or wraps
- As a topper for deviled egg-style crostini
🧁 Tips for Success
- Softened cream cheese is key—otherwise, the dip won’t blend smoothly.
- Let it chill for at least 30 minutes before serving—it deepens the flavor.
- Want it chunkier? Pulse less and fold in more chopped whites at the end.
- Add garnishes right before serving so they stay crisp and fresh.
🧊 Storage Instructions
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Pro tip: The flavor actually improves after a few hours as everything melds.
