Collect all the ingredients needed for the Monteno Bacon recipe including bacon, Monteno cheese, fresh spinach, garlic powder, black pepper, and olive oil.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that the bacon cooks evenly and becomes crispy.
Cooking

Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon slices. Cook until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Prepare the Spinach
In the same skillet with a little bit of bacon grease left, add the fresh spinach. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Layer the Ingredients
On a baking sheet, layer the cooked spinach, followed by the crispy bacon pieces, and then sprinkle the Monteno cheese on top.
