Note

Store any leftover dressing in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir or shake well before reusing.

For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use a vegetarian alternative if desired, or simply increase the mushrooms and cheese for heartiness.

Hard-cook the eggs ahead of time for faster assembly. Peel them while still warm for easier removal.

If using store-bought spinach, ensure it is thoroughly dried to prevent the dressing from sliding off.
