8 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup high quality mayonnaise
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/2 cup cooked turkey bacon bits, extra crispy
1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped hard-boiled eggs with the mayonnaise and mustard. Use a fork or a sturdy spoon to mix them until the consistency is creamy but still has some texture from the egg pieces. This creates the classic foundation for the dip.
Add the salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to the bowl. Stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed. Taste the mixture at this point and adjust the salt or pepper according to your personal preference.
Gently fold in half of the crispy turkey bacon bits and half of the sliced green onions. Mixing some into the base ensures that every bite has that smoky, savory flavor, while leaving the rest for the top keeps the presentation looking sharp and festive.
Transfer the dip to a shallow serving bowl or a small platter. Smooth the top with a spatula and sprinkle the remaining turkey bacon, green onions, and fresh parsley over the top. For the best flavor, cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving at your Christmas party.
