1
Prepare the Cooking Surface
Select a frying pan or skillet suitable for cooking bacon. Ensure it's clean and dry before use.
2
Heat the Pan
Place the pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about 2-3 minutes. You want the pan to be hot enough to sizzle when the bacon is added.
3
Add the Bacon
Carefully lay the 3 slices of bacon flat in the hot pan. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
4
Cook the Bacon
Cook the bacon for about 4-6 minutes, or until the edges begin to curl and the bacon starts to brown. Use tongs to flip the bacon halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
5
Check for Desired Crispiness
Continue to cook the bacon to your desired level of crispiness. The total cooking time should be around 8-12 minutes depending on thickness and preference.
6
Remove and Drain
Once the bacon is cooked to your liking, use tongs to carefully remove the slices from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
7
Serve
Serve the crispy bacon slices immediately as desired, either on their own, or as part of a breakfast dish or sandwich.
