Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon slices. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Sauté the Shallots
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the chopped shallots. Sauté over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.
