Ingredients
4 cups fresh spinach leaves
1 cup Swiss cheese
2 units hard-boiled eggs
1 cup mushrooms
4 slices bacon
1/2 cup almonds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium shallots
2 cloves garlic

to taste none pepper
Method
Start by arranging fresh spinach leaves in a sizeable serving bowl.
Add layers of Swiss cheese, sliced hard-boiled eggs, mushrooms, crispy bacon pieces, and a sprinkle of almonds on top.
In a small frying pan, warm up olive oil over medium heat. Sauté shallots and minced garlic until the shallots become soft, which should take around 2 minutes.
Incorporate vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and the leftover crumbled bacon into the skillet, heating the mixture through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Pour the warm dressing over the spinach mixture and gently toss everything together to ensure even coating.
