Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Hard-Boiled Eggs: The star of this dip! Select fresh eggs for the best yellow yolks. If you’re short on time, store-bought hard-boiled eggs work too.
Mayonnaise: This adds creaminess and richness. If you prefer lighter options, try Greek yogurt or avocado mayo as a healthy substitute.
Dijon Mustard: It provides tanginess. Yellow mustard can work in a pinch, but it will taste slightly different. If you like some heat, try spicy brown mustard instead.
Fresh Herbs: Dill offers a fresh taste. If you don’t have dill, you could use parsley or cilantro. For a stronger flavor, I recommend tarragon.
How Do You Get the Perfect Texture for the Dip?
Getting the right texture is key! Start by chopping the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces but don’t overdo it. Aim for a chunky mix to keep it interesting and delicious.
- Combine ingredients gently. Overmixing can turn the eggs mushy.
- Adding the mayonnaise gradually helps you control creaminess.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more mayonnaise or a bit of yogurt—trust your taste!

Can I Use Egg Substitutes for This Recipe?

How Long Can I Store Leftover Deviled Eggs Dip?
You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a good stir before serving again, as ingredients may separate over time!

In addition to crackers and cucumber slices, you can try pita chips, bell pepper strips, or even celery sticks. The crunch will complement the creamy dip perfectly!
Can I Make This Dip Spicier?
Absolutely! For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mix. You can also experiment with diced jalapeños or chopped pickled jalapeños for extra heat!
