Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Bacon
Lay the bacon slices flat on a large cutting board, ensuring they do not overlap.
Season the Bacon
Sprinkle black pepper evenly over both sides of the bacon slices for added flavor.
Preheat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
Cook the Bacon
Place the bacon slices into the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes on one side until crispy and golden brown.
Flip the Bacon
Using tongs, carefully flip the bacon slices and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes on the other side until thoroughly crispy.
Add Maple Syrup
In the last minute of cooking, drizzle maple syrup over the bacon, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
Drain the Bacon
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Serve
Serve the crispy bacon warm, either as a side dish or as part of a breakfast platter.
