Method
Preparation
Choosing the Bacon
Select high-quality bacon. Look for thick-cut slices for a more substantial texture and flavor.
Prepping the Bacon
Remove the bacon from its packaging and lay the slices flat on a cutting board.
Cooking
Pan-Frying Method
In a large skillet, place the bacon slices side by side without overlapping. Turn the heat to medium.
Cooking the Bacon
Cook the bacon for 6-8 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
Draining the Bacon
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Optional Glazing
Seasoning the Bacon
If desired, sprinkle black pepper, maple syrup, or brown sugar over the bacon while it's still hot for added flavor.
