1
Cook the Bacon
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the bacon slices in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until crispy and browned. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess fat.

2
Toast the Bread
While the bacon is cooking, slice the ciabatta loaf in half lengthwise. If desired, drizzle the cut sides with olive oil. Place the halves under a broiler or on a grill for about 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

3
Combine and Serve
Once the bacon is crispy and the ciabatta is toasted, layer the bacon on the toasted ciabatta. Season with black pepper and top with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
