- 8 large hard boiled eggs, peeled
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise, plus more as needed Use your preferred brand.

- to taste paprika for topping For flavor and presentation.
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickles or relish (optional)
- chopped chives or green onion (optional) For garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Separate and mash the peeled eggs in a bowl. For a smoother texture, pop the yolks out and mash them first, then add the chopped whites. Otherwise, mash the whole eggs together.
- Stir in the mayonnaise and mustard, mixing until you achieve a dip-like consistency. Add more mayonnaise if needed.
- Add pickle juice or vinegar to brighten the flavor, making it taste like classic deviled egg filling.
- Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust as necessary. If it tastes heavy, add a few drops more pickle juice; if too sharp, a tiny bit more mayonnaise.
- Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl, sprinkle with paprika, and add chives if desired.
Notes
Chill the dip for 30 to 60 minutes for the flavors to blend, making it taste better. Use older eggs for easier peeling, and don't leave the dip out for too long due to its egg and mayo base.
