Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Spread the bacon on a cookie sheet and put in the oven. Bake for 7-8 minutes and flip. Bake for an additional 5-6 minutes or until golden brown. Move the bacon to paper towels.
Pour 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of bacon fat into a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 60 seconds. Stir in apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, sea salt and black pepper. Slowly stir in the olive oil. Cover and turn off the heat.
Roughly chop the bacon. In a large bowl, add baby spinach, eggs, red onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, croutons and chopped bacon. Drizzle the warm bacon, honey and mustard vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
