First put the eggs in the pot in cold water. Then turn on the stove, let the water come to a boil, and immediately turn it off again. Leave the pot on the stove, and let the eggs sit undisturbed for 10-15 minutes in the hot water – this way, they cook all the way through, but they don’t get that unappetizing gray color and chalky texture of overcooked yolks.
- On the stove, hard-boil the eggs (this usually takes 10 to 12 minutes, see instructions in the introduction of this recipe). Once the eggs are done, remove the shells.
- While the eggs are cooking, cook the bacon over a medium-high heat until nice and crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Mince the cooked bacon into tiny pieces.
- Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, and remove the yolks. Place all the yolks in a medium bowl, and keep the whites aside.
- Add the mayonnaise to the egg yolks, and combine with a fork until you get a nice soft texture.
- Add the bacon and tomatoes to the egg yolk and mayonnaise.
- Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste, and mix again.
- Fill each egg white with the yolk mixture, about 1 tbsp. each, and garnish with minced lettuce.
- Refrigerate about 20 minutes before serving.
