Bacon Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all ingredients needed for cooking the bacon. Ensure the bacon strips are fresh and have a balanced fat content for optimal flavor.

Preheat the Pan
Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Allow it to preheat for about 2 minutes until it’s hot but not smoking.

Cook the Bacon
Lay the bacon strips flat in the skillet without overlapping. Cook for 4–5 minutes on one side until it starts to brown and become crispy.

Flip and Season
Using tongs, carefully flip the bacon strips to the other side. Sprinkle black pepper evenly over the bacon. Continue cooking for another 4–5 minutes, until crispy.

Add Maple Syrup
Drizzle maple syrup over the bacon in the last minute of cooking. Let it caramelize slightly for additional flavor, flipping the bacon to coat evenly.

Drain and Serve
Once the bacon is cooked to your desired crispiness, remove it from the pan and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Serve immediately.
