Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Preheat your skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil to the skillet.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    Place the bacon slices in the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until crispy and golden brown.

  3. 3

    Season the Bacon

    Sprinkle black pepper over the bacon during the last minute of cooking. For a sweet touch, drizzle maple syrup over the bacon and allow it to caramelize for about 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
