Ingredients:

  • 8 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp finely minced cornichons
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp freshly chopped chives

Instructions:

  1. Coarsely chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces. Transfer them to a mixing bowl and use a fork to mash them until they are broken down but still retain a few small, visible chunks.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise to the mashed eggs. Use a spatula to fold them together until the mixture is unified and no large lumps of cream cheese remain.
  3. Stir in the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and minced cornichons. Season with the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, mixing gently until spices are evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a slight swirl on top, then garnish with a final dusting of smoked paprika and chopped chives.
