Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Take the 500 grams of bacon and lay them out on a cutting board. If the bacon is in strips, you can keep them as is.

  2. 2

    Season the Bacon

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of black pepper evenly over both sides of the bacon strips for added flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the bacon to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add the bacon strips to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until they are crispy and golden brown.

  5. 5

    Flip the Bacon

    Using tongs, flip the bacon strips and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side until crispy.

  6. 6

    Add Maple Syrup

    In the last minute of cooking, drizzle 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over the bacon strips. Allow the syrup to caramelize slightly for enhanced flavor.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease. Serve warm.
