Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Choose Your Bacon

    Select high-quality bacon slices, preferably thick-cut for better flavor and texture.

  2. 2

    Optional Seasoning Preparation

    If you wish to add seasonings, mix black pepper, maple syrup, and brown sugar in a small bowl.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Allow it to warm up for about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    Place the bacon strips in the skillet, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired crispiness.

  3. 5

    Add Optional Seasonings

    If using, brush the mixture of black pepper, maple syrup, and brown sugar over the cooking bacon during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

Serving

  1. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Serve warm.
