When it comes to party food, dips are always a hit—they’re easy to make, shareable, and packed with flavor. But if you’re looking to serve something a little whimsical and unique, the Humpty Dumpty Dip is sure to grab attention. Inspired by the nursery rhyme character who famously “sat on a wall,” this playful dip puts a creative spin on traditional egg-based recipes. It’s creamy, zesty, and perfect for spreading on crackers, pita, or fresh veggies.
What is Humpty Dumpty Dip?
As the name suggests, this dip is all about eggs. Think of it as a cross between a deviled egg filling and an egg salad, but lighter, creamier, and served as a dip instead of a sandwich spread. It’s a perfect way to use up leftover boiled eggs and makes for a protein-rich snack.
