Method
 

Preparation
  1. Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pot and covering them with water. Bring to a gentle boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit in hot water for 12–15 minutes.
  2. Cool the eggs in cold water for at least 5 minutes, then peel them under running water to remove stubborn shell bits.
  3. Slice each egg in half and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a bowl.
Mixing the Filling
  1. Mash the yolks and mix in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
Finishing Touches
  1. Top each deviled egg with crumbled bacon and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
  2. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Notes

Chill assembled eggs, add bacon and herbs just before serving to maintain texture. For bulk preparation, store filling and whites separately.
