Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Take the bacon strips out of the package and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Season the Bacon

    Sprinkle black pepper evenly over both sides of the bacon strips. Adjust the amount to your taste.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Skillet

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it's hot but not smoking.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    Add the bacon strips to the skillet in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy and golden brown.

  5. 5

    Add Maple Syrup

    In the last couple of minutes of cooking, drizzle maple syrup over the bacon strips. Let it caramelize slightly for a sweet glaze.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Serve warm.
