Prepare a smoker or charcoal grill to a low temperature of about 225°F (110°C). If you don't have a smoker, you can use a stovetop smoking setup or smoked salt as an alternative.
Place the eggs directly onto the grill grates or in a smoker-safe egg rack. Close the lid and smoke the eggs for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through if necessary to ensure even smoking.
Once smoked, remove the eggs and allow them to cool completely in an ice bath (about 5 minutes), making them easier to peel.
Peel the smoked eggs and place them in a food processor or a mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, chopped chives, parsley (if using), and lemon juice.
Process or mash the mixture until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse the processor or mash with a fork to your desired consistency.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and a few extra chopped chives.
Serve the smoked egg dip spread with crackers, fresh bread, or vegetable sticks. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
