Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the bacon slices in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and browned.

    Drain and Serve

    Once the bacon is cooked to your liking, use tongs to transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Serve immediately.
