Ingredients
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
4 slices thick-cut bacon or 4 slices pancetta, chopped
3 shallots, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 pounds triple washed spinach, stems removed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
4 hard-boiled eggs, quartered lengthwise
Parmigiano Reggiano, for topping
Directions
Heat the EVOO in large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the bacon to skillet and brown; reserve the crispy bacon bits and add the shallots and garlic to the pan. Cook 3-4 minutes then deglaze the pan with vinegar, turn spinach into pan and wilt down a bit but do not fully cook the spinach, just give it a few turns with tongs. Season the greens with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Place the spinach on a serving dish and top with the quartered eggs, shavings of cheese and reserved bacon bits.
