Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Lay out the bacon slices on a clean cutting board or plate.

  2. 2

    Season the Bacon

    If desired, sprinkle black pepper evenly over the bacon slices and drizzle maple syrup on top for added flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook in a Skillet

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the bacon slices to the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd.

  2. 4

    Cook until Crisp

    Cook the bacon for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. Adjust the cooking time based on your preference.

  3. 5

    Drain Excess Fat

    Once cooked, use tongs to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
