1
Prep the Bacon
Take the slices of bacon out of the packaging and lay them out on a cutting board.
2
Season the Bacon
Sprinkle black pepper evenly over both sides of each bacon slice to taste.
3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Cook the Bacon
Place the bacon slices in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side until crispy.
5
Flip the Bacon
Using tongs, carefully flip each slice of bacon to the other side and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until crispy and browned.
6
Add Maple Syrup
In the last minute of cooking, drizzle maple syrup over the bacon slices, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
7
Remove and Drain
Once cooked to your desired crispiness, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
8
Serve
Serve the bacon hot as a delicious side dish with your favorite breakfast or brunch items.
