Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the large eggs in a saucepan and covering them with cold water. Bring the water to a rapid boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and remove it from heat, allowing the eggs to sit undisturbed for 12 minutes.
  2. After the eggs have rested for 12 minutes, prepare an ice water bath in a large bowl. Carefully transfer the eggs into the ice water and let them chill for about 5 minutes.
  3. Now that the eggs are cool, tap them gently on a hard surface to crack the shell. Under running water, carefully peel each egg, starting from the wider end.
  4. Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks with a spoon. Mash the yolks until smooth, then stir in mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Fold in the grated Parmesan, chopped chives, parsley, lemon juice, and crispy bacon bits into the yolk mixture.
  6. Using a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a star tip, fill each egg white half generously with the creamy filling.
  7. Dust each filled egg lightly with paprika for added color and sprinkle some extra chives on top.
  8. You can serve your delicious Million Dollar Deviled Eggs immediately or refrigerate them for up to a day before serving.
