1
Prepare the Bacon
Begin by removing the bacon from its packaging and laying it flat on a cutting board.
2
Season the Bacon (Optional)
If desired, sprinkle black pepper evenly over the bacon slices for added flavor.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it is shimmering but not smoking.
4
Cook the Bacon
Carefully place the bacon slices into the hot skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
5
Flip the Bacon
Cook the bacon for about 4-5 minutes on one side until it becomes crispy and golden brown. Use tongs to flip the bacon slices and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes on the other side.
6
Drain Excess Fat
Once cooked, use tongs to remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
