Ingredients

  • 3 whole eggs
  • Ice
  • 7 slices thick-cut peppered bacon
  • 1 small whole red onion
  • 1 package white button mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 dash salt
  • 8 ounces baby spinach, washed, dried and stems removed

Directions

Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Then turn off the heat and allow to sit in the water for 20 minutes. Drain off the water and add ice on top of the eggs.

Fry the bacon in a skillet until crispy/chewy. Remove to a paper towel. Drain the fat into a bowl and reserve. Give the skillet a wipe with kitchen paper.

Slice the red onion very thinly, and then add to the skillet. Cook slowly until the onions are caramelized and reduced. Remove to a plate and set aside.

Slice the mushrooms and add them to the same skillet with a little of the reserved bacon fat if needed. Cook slowly until caramelized and brown. Remove to a plate and set aside.

Chop the bacon. Peel and slice the eggs.

Make the hot bacon dressing: Add 3 tablespoons of the reserved bacon fat, vinegar, sugar, Dijon and salt to a small saucepan or skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk together and heat thoroughly until bubbly.

Add the spinach to a large bowl. Arrange the onions, mushrooms and bacon on top. Pour the hot dressing over the top; toss to combine. Arrange the eggs over the top and serve.

    Reminds me of my Grandma but with a KICK! Maybe I might add a little tabasco!

    Loved it! Perfect brunch salad. My guests really enjoyed this- the carmelized onions are the key. My mother cannot eat raw onions so this was perfect.

    Scrumptious! I made this for Mother's Day and everyone--even those that don't like hard boiled eggs--thought this was the best spinach salad they ever had!
