1
Preheat the Pan
Place a large skillet over medium heat and allow it to preheat for about 2-3 minutes.
2
Add Bacon to the Pan
Once the skillet is hot, carefully lay the 3 pieces of bacon in the pan. Make sure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
3
Cook the Bacon
Cook the bacon for about 4-5 minutes on the first side. You should see the edges start to curl and the color deepen.
4
Flip the Bacon
Using tongs, carefully flip each piece of bacon to the other side and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
5
Drain the Bacon
Once crispy, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess grease.
6
Serve
Once drained, serve the crispy bacon immediately as a delicious side or topping.
