BHG readers love a retro recipe, from Wacky Cake, which originated during the Great Depression, to our beloved 1947 chocolate chip cookie recipe; these recipes have withstood the test of time. So it's no surprise that the most-saved dip recipe happens to be a simplified twist on yet another retro favorite: deviled egg dip. If you're looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer that takes minimal effort, look no further than this dip.

Why We Love Deviled Egg Dip

This simple but flavor-packed app has everything you love about classic deviled eggs, including a rich and creamy dressing with a hint of brine and a pop of spice, without the fuss of filling individual egg whites. The whole thing takes less than 20 minutes, including boiling the eggs, and can be easily customized. Not a fan of capers? Leave them out. Love pickles? Add a splash of juice or a few chopped spears. This dip is creamy, hearty, and welcome any time of year.

Tips For Making Deviled Egg Dip

For the perfect texture, boil your eggs for 15 minutes, then cool them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. The yolks should be firm but still yellow.
Shredding the eggs on a box grater yields a fluffy, scoopable texture with some bite to it.
Full-fat Greek yogurt provides the most flavor, but you could use low- or no-fat yogurt if you prefer.
Sweet pickle relish adds just a subtle touch of sweetness we love. That said, dill relish will also work.
Serve deviled egg dip with pita or tortilla chips, fresh vegetable crudité or crackers.
You can make the dip ahead of time. Cover it and keep it in the refrigerator for up to two days.
