- 3 large eggs
- 8 cups baby spinach 8 cups
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 x salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 slices bacon 1/2 pound, thick-cut, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 23 cup red onion half of a medium size, chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced, or pressed, 1 small clove
- Add the egg to a small or medium saucepan, cover with cold water, cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Remove the pan from the heat, keep covered, and allow to stand 10 minutes.
- While the eggs are sitting in the hot water, fill a medium bowl with 1 quart ice water.
- After 10 minutes, remove the eggs from the hot water to ice water with a slotted spoon, allow to stand for another 5 minutes.
- Peel the eggs, quarter them lengthwise, and set aside.
- The bacon cooks quicker if you chop the slices into 1/2 inch sized pieces.
- Add the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat and cook until crisp, 9 to 11 minutes.
- In a small bowl combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper.
- Stir to dissolve, set aside.
- With a slotted spoon, remove bacon from the skillet, and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Transfer the bacon fat into a small bowl, then return 3 tablespoons of bacon fat to the same skillet.
- Stir in the onion and cook over medium heat, stirring often.
- Pour the vinegar mixture, then remove the skillet from heat, working quickly, scape the bottom of skillet with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits of flavor.
- Pour the dressing over the spinach, place the bacon on top, and gently toss until spinach is just wilted.
- Divide among serving plates, place egg quarters on top of each salad.
- Serve warm.
