1
Step 1: Preheat the Pan
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 1-2 minutes.
2
Step 2: Add the Bacon
Once the oil is hot, add the bacon strips to the skillet in a single layer. You might need to work in batches if your skillet is not large enough.

3
Step 3: Fry the Bacon
Cook the bacon for about 4-5 minutes or until it becomes crispy. Use tongs to flip the bacon halfway through the cooking time.

Step 4: Drain the Bacon
Once the bacon is cooked to your desired crispiness, remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

Step 5: Season and Serve
If desired, season the bacon with freshly cracked black pepper. You may also drizzle some maple syrup over the bacon for a sweet touch. Garnish with chopped green onions for added flavor and color.

Step 6: Enjoy
Serve the extra bacon on a platter and enjoy it as a side dish or as part of a classic breakfast.
