Ingredients
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces and set them aside in a mixing bowl.
- In the same mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise to the chopped eggs. This will serve as the creamy base for your dip.
- Add 1 tablespoon of curry powder to the mixture. This will give the dip its distinctive flavor and color.
- Next, incorporate 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard into the bowl. This will add a subtle tanginess to the dip.
- Chop 1 tablespoon of fresh chives and add them to the mixture. This will enhance the flavor and add a fresh, herbal note.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small pinch of each and adjust according to your preference.
- Using a fork or a spatula, gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as you want to maintain some texture from the eggs.
- Taste the dip and adjust any seasonings if necessary, adding more curry powder, salt, or pepper as desired.
- Once the dip is well mixed and seasoned to your liking, transfer it to a serving bowl. You can garnish it with additional chopped chives if desired.
- Serve the curried egg dip immediately with cooked shrimp for dipping, or refrigerate it for up to an hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for easier mixing and smoother texture
- For the best flavor, use freshly ground spices and high-quality curry powder
- Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld
- If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can pulse the ingredients in a food processor
- Experiment with different curry powder blends to find your perfect flavor profile
- For a lighter version, substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt
- Always taste and adjust seasonings gradually to achieve the perfect balance
- Garnish with extra chives or a sprinkle of paprika for a professional touch
