Add a little vinegar to the boiling water.

Gently add eggs and set a timer for 10 minutes for hard boiling.

Cook apple wood smoked bacon in a saute pan until crispy, then place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

Once eggs are done, pour out hot water and add cold water to help peel them more easily.

Prepare the dressing by separating two egg yolks into a mixing bowl.

Whisk the egg yolks while slowly adding oil to create an emulsification.

Add 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, shallots, parsley, sherry vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and optional black pepper to the dressing and mix well.

Slice the bacon, tomatoes, and avocado.
