Steps:
- Remove the stems from the spinach and wash, drain and pat dry thoroughly. Place into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Place the eggs into an electric kettle and cover with cold water by at least 1-inch. Turn the kettle on. Once the water comes to a boil, the kettle will turn itself off. Leave the eggs in the water for 15 minutes. Remove and peel off the shell. Slice each egg into 8 pieces and set aside.
- While the eggs are cooking, fry the bacon and remove to a paper towel to drain, reserving 3 tablespoons of the rendered fat. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
- Transfer the fat to a small saucepan set over low heat and whisk in the red wine vinegar, sugar and Dijon mustard. Season with a small pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper.
- Add the mushrooms and the sliced onion to the spinach and toss. Add the dressing and bacon and toss to combine. Divide the spinach between 4 plates or bowls and evenly divide the egg among them. Season with pepper, as desired. Serve immediately.

- To add a bit of sweetness to the salad, use Granny Smith apples. You can also use other tart apples, such as Braeburn or Honeycrisp.
- If you don't have bacon on hand, you can use crumbled feta cheese or chopped walnuts as a substitute.
- To make the dressing, use a good quality olive oil. You can also add a bit of lemon juice or vinegar to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately after it is made. This will prevent the spinach from wilting.
