Directions

Step 1 –In a small, nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the pecans, the soy sauce, and the maple syrup and cook until it just starts to bubble.

Step 2 –Reduce the heat to low and simmer the pecan mixture, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3 –Stir the pecan mixture continuously until the liquid has totally evaporated and the pecans start to stick together, about 1 minute.

Step 4 –Immediately transfer the skillet from the heat and pour the pecans onto a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet.

Step 5 –Sprinkle the pecans with the salt and let them cool, about 5 minutes.

Step 6 –Place the spinach on plates or bowls and top with the eggs, the pecans, the shallots, and the feta cheese.

Step 7 –Drizzle the salad with the dressing and serve.
