Yahoo Lifestyle The Genius Deviled Egg Recipe We Wish We’d Known About Sooner
While many people are drooling over the thought of turkey and green bean casserole, I'm ready for deviled eggs. This classic appetizer made from hard-boiled eggs is one of my favorite foods and I'm already dreaming of eating more than a few on Thanksgiving day.
They're called "deviled" because the term historically referred to foods that are spiced or zesty. Common toppings include paprika, chives or bacon bits, and you can customize the fillings to suit your taste. They're perfect for potlucks, parties and holiday gatherings because they're easy to make, easy to transport and they're a fan favorite.
As much as I love a classic deviled egg, I'm always on the hunt for a new recipe to try. And content creator @dangthatssweet (real name Sophie) recently shared a great spin on deviled eggs and I can't wait to try it. Not only is it faster, but this recipe will definitely be a show-stopper this Thanksgiving.

What's So Great About Deviled Egg Dip?
"No more fussing with filling individual deviled eggs! This deviled egg dip is easy to make and perfect for a party!" Sophie wrote in the caption of her Instagram video. "Serve it alongside your favorite crackers, veggies, and/or pretzels for dipping!"
You read that right—a deviled egg dip! To make it, you'll need to boil (or steam) your eggs and then peel them once they've cooled. Add the eggs, cream cheese and mayo to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is smooth.
Once that's ready, you'll add in mustard, pickle juice, hot sauce and salt and pepper and pulse again to combine. Place the dip into a bowl and top it with paprika and chives.
Not only does the mixture sound tangy and flavorful, but the dip looks creamy and smooth. I have to make this dip right away!
"Wait this is great because if you suck at peeling eggs it doesn’t matter!" someone commented on the post. That will definitely make things faster.
Other people commented that they would add less mustard, another said to top it with bacon bits and someone else said to add pickles. The great thing about this dip is that you can add whatever seasonings, toppings and dippers you want to make the perfect deviled egg flavor.
For Thanksgiving, I'm thinking that topping the dip with some of the crispy onions I have for the green bean casserole might be the move.
