Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Eggs, hard-boiled and peeled | 12 |

| Mayonnaise | 1/2 cup |
| Yellow mustard | 2 tablespoons |

Instructions:
- Prepare Eggs for Processing: Take 6 of the hard-boiled eggs and place them whole into a large food processor. For the remaining 6 eggs, cut them in half. Add only the yolks to the food processor with the other 6 whole eggs, and set the egg whites aside.
- Blend the Dip Base: To the food processor, add the room temperature cream cheese, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, paprika, salt, black pepper, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the chopped chives. Process at high speed until the mixture is fully blended and smooth.
- Incorporate Egg Whites & Serve: Roughly chop the reserved egg whites. Add them to the blended egg mixture and gently hand mix to combine. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Top with the remaining 1 teaspoon of chopped chives and an additional sprinkle of paprika. If desired, garnish with sliced pickles.
- Serve: Serve chilled with crackers, pretzels, or your favorite veggie sticks.
- This Humpty Dumpty Dip is fantastic for gatherings and a fun way to enjoy the flavors of deviled eggs in a new format!
Make-Ahead & Storage Tips
This dip actually tastes even better after a few hours in the fridge, as the flavors have time to meld. You can make it up to 24 hours in advance—just cover tightly with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container. Before serving, give it a quick stir and refresh the garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chives.
Leftovers (if you have any!) can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Avoid freezing, as the creamy texture may separate.
Fun Variations

Whether you’re serving it at a holiday buffet, game-day spread, or casual backyard gathering, Humpty Dumpty Dip is guaranteed to disappear fast—and have everyone asking for the recipe.
