Introduction
Who doesn’t remember Humpty Dumpty, the egg from the nursery rhyme sitting on a wall? This “Humpty Dumpty Dip” takes inspiration from him: creamy, rich and irresistible like a dip in comfort food. Ideal for those who love strong but balanced flavors, this dip made with hard-boiled eggs, cream cheese and spices can be prepared in just a few minutes and is perfect for spreading on croutons or serving with raw vegetables.
Ingredients:
For 4-6 people
4 hard-boiled eggs
200 g of cream cheese (such as Philadelphia)
100 g of mayonnaise
1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard (optional)
2 tablespoons of chopped chives
Salt and pepper to taste
Sweet paprika for garnish (optional)
Crackers, croutons, or vegetable sticks for serving
Directions:
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and roughly chop them.
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth.
Add the eggs, mustard (if using), chives, salt, and pepper. Stir gently; the mixture should be slightly rustic, with a few pieces of egg visible.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, sprinkle with sweet paprika if desired, and garnish with more chives.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Serving and storage tips:
Serve the dip very cold, accompanied by salted crackers, whole grain croutons, or carrot and celery sticks.
It can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days. We recommend stirring it before serving again.
