Step-by-Step Instructions

Are you ready to whip up this Humpty Dumpty Dip? Trust me; it’s as simple as it gets!

Cook the Eggs

Start by placing the 8 large eggs in a saucepan. Cover them with cold water (about an inch above) and bring to a boil!
Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and allow the eggs to sit for 10–12 minutes.
Drain the hot water and cool the eggs under cold water for a couple of minutes. Once they’re cool enough to handle, peel and chop them!

Mix the Base

In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon hot sauce, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and a couple of pinches of salt and black pepper.
Give this zesty mixture a good stir until it’s all well blended!

Add Cheese & Bacon

Stir in those chopped eggs, making sure they’re well coated with your creamy base.
Now, mix in 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and half of the crumbled bacon (oh, boy, you can smell it already!).

Bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread your eggy mixture evenly into a greased baking dish.
Bake it uncovered for about 15–20 minutes, until it’s hot and bubbly.

Garnish & Serve

Once it’s out of the oven, sprinkle the remaining bacon, chopped green onions, and a pinch of paprika on top. Looks gorgeous, huh?
Serve warm with your favorite crackers, chips, or toasted bread, watch how quickly it disappears!
