Steps

  1. 1
    Boil the eggs for exactly 6 minutes 30 seconds, chill in iced water and peel.
  2. 2
    Render the bacon in a cold pan brought slowly up to heat, until crisp. Lift it out and keep the fat.
  3. 3
    Fry the mushrooms in the bacon fat over high heat until browned and their water has gone.
  4. 4
    Whisk the vinegar, mustard, maple syrup and olive oil into the hot pan and let it bubble for 20 seconds.
  5. 5
    Put the spinach in a large bowl and pour the hot dressing straight over it.
  6. 6
    Toss immediately and briefly — the leaves should wilt at the edges but not collapse. Standing around in warm dressing turns the whole bowl to slime.
  7. 7
    Add the bacon, mushrooms, onion and croutons, top with the halved eggs and serve at once.
