Servings: persons

16 ounces Baby Spinach
6 eggs, hard boiled and sliced
16 pieces cooked bacon, chopped
9 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 -6 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
12 medium white mushrooms, sliced
6 ounces red onions, very thinly sliced (1 small)
1 cup dried cranberries
garlic cheese crouton

1
Remove the stems from the spinach and wash, drain and pat dry thoroughly. Place into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
2
While the eggs are hard boiling, fry the bacon and remove to a paper towel to drain, reserving 9 tablespoons of the rendered fat. Crumble the bacon and set aside. I like to fry bacon in the oven. Just spread out the slices on a cookie sheet and pop into a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes. You can turn the bacon during the last 5 minutes to get it crispier.
3
Transfer the bacon grease to a small saucepan set over low heat and whisk in the red wine vinegar, sugar and Dijon mustard. Season with a few small pinches each of kosher salt and black pepper.
4
Add the mushrooms, cranberries and the sliced onion to the spinach and toss. Add the dressing and bacon and toss to combine. Divide the spinach between 8 plates or bowls and evenly divide the egg among them. Season with pepper, as desired. Serve immediately.
