Method

1. Boil the eggs:

Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, gently lower in the 12 eggs, and cook for 10 minutes.

2. Make the aioli:

Whisk the 2 raw yolks with mustard and 1/2 tsp salt until smooth. Slowly whisk in the olive oil, then the canola oil, until thick and creamy. The oil needs to be whisked in slowly to emulsify to the egg yolk. Adding too much at a time will cause the mixture to break. Add lemon juice and honey. Adjust seasoning and refrigerate.

3. Cool and peel:

Drain the boiled eggs and place in an ice bath (or rinse under cold water) to cool completely. Peel when cold.

4. Make the filling:

Halve the eggs and place the cooked yolks in a food processor. Pulse until sandy. In a bowl, mix yolks with half the aioli, oregano, dill, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and pepper. Add more aioli as needed for a creamy, pipeable consistency.

5. Assemble:

Arrange egg whites on a platter and fill with the yolk mixture (spoon or pipe). Top with bacon and optional herbs or paprika.

6. Store:

Refrigerate up to 3 days.

*Homemade aioli also keeps for up to 3 days; assemble eggs within that window.
