6 cups fresh baby spinach leaves (washed and dried)
5 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 medium red onion (cut into 1/4-inch thick wedges with some core attached)
2 hard-boiled eggs (diced)
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Kosher or other coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Optional bacon - per serving
1 slice bacon (cooked, drained, cooled, and chopped)

Steps:

Add spinach to a large bowl.
Heat two tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat-high. Add onions and saute, stirring occasionally, until softened and some bits are brown, about 7 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat. Pour onions over spinach. Top with egg.
Add remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to skillet and stir in the feta cheese. Stir in unheated skillet until the cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Pour the cheese mixture over the salad. Toss thoroughly to coat and wilt the spinach slightly.
Divide between four plates. Top individual servings with chopped bacon if desired.
