Steps:
- In 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Remove bacon with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Drain all but 3 tablespoons bacon drippings from skillet (if fewer than 3 tablespoons remain, add enough vegetable oil to drippings to equal 3 tablespoons).
- Add oil, onions, sugar, salt and pepper to drippings in skillet. Cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are slightly softened. Stir in vinegar.
- Place spinach in very large bowl. Pour warm dressing over spinach; toss to coat. Arrange egg slices on top. Crumble bacon and sprinkle on top. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- To cook the bacon using the "Mauro Method," line a baking sheet with parchment, overlapping each side 1 to 2 inches. Put the bacon on the parchment and bake until crisp and brown, about 20 minutes. This way, the fat will fry the bacon to a perfect crisp but not come in contact with the metal pan, creating a mess. Drain the bacon on paper towels and let cool. (Once the fat is cooled, use or just toss it. No mess!)
- Crumble the bacon into a bowl. Gently mix in the eggs, mayonnaise, chives, mustard and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Eat alone, or build sandwiches with avocados and tomatoes on toasted croissants.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your salad. Look for crisp bacon, ripe tomatoes, and tender lettuce.
- Don't overcook the bacon: Overcooked bacon can be tough and chewy. Cook it until it's just crispy around the edges.
- Use a variety of textures: The combination of crispy bacon, soft-boiled eggs, crunchy vegetables, and creamy dressing creates a delicious and satisfying salad.
- Dress the salad just before serving: This will help to prevent the salad from getting soggy.
- Season the salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to your taste.
