Method
Preparation
- 1
Choose Your Bacon
Select a high-quality bacon from your butcher or grocery store. Thick-cut bacon is recommended for a crispy texture.
- 2
Cut the Bacon (if necessary)
If you prefer smaller pieces, slice the bacon into halves or thirds.
Cooking
- 3
Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet or frying pan, place the bacon strips in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- 4
Heat the Pan
Turn the heat to medium. Allow the bacon to cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes or until it starts to brown.
- 5
Flip the Bacon
Using tongs, flip the bacon strips over and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until desired crispiness is achieved.
- 6
Season (Optional)
If you like, sprinkle black pepper over the bacon while it cooks for an extra kick, or drizzle maple syrup in the last minute for a sweet glaze.
- 7
Drain the Bacon
Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
