Main Ingredients

Optional Seasoning

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Choose Your Bacon

    Select high-quality bacon slices for the best flavor. Thick-cut bacon is recommended for a crispy texture.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Preheat the Pan

    Place a large skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about 2 minutes.

  2. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    Lay the bacon slices in the skillet in a single layer. Ensure the slices do not overlap to promote even cooking.

  3. 4

    Flip and Season

    Cook the bacon for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until it begins to brown. Flip the slices using tongs to cook the other side.

  4. 5

    Add Optional Seasoning

    If desired, sprinkle black pepper over the bacon while it cooks. For a sweet touch, drizzle maple syrup over the bacon during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

  5. 6

    Check for Crispiness

    Continue cooking until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness, about 3-5 more minutes.

  6. 7

    Drain and Serve

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