Ingredients

• 6 hard-boiled eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons finely diced red bell pepper
• 1 pack pumpernickel bread or crackers (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 9 minutes.

Step 2

Immediately transfer the cooked eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5-10 minutes. Peel the eggs once cooled completely.

Step 3

Roughly chop the peeled eggs and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 4

Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the bowl. Use a fork to mash the eggs and mix until the texture is creamy but still slightly chunky.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped red bell pepper and fresh chives for added flavor and texture.

Step 6

Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.

Step 7

Transfer the Easter Egg Spread to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and additional chopped chives.

Step 8

Serve the spread chilled or at room temperature with pumpernickel bread, crackers, or crudités.
