🥓 Crispy Bacon Recipe
Ingredients:
8–12 slices bacon
🔥 Method 1: Pan-Fried (classic)
Place bacon slices in a cold frying pan (don’t overlap too much).
Turn heat to medium.
Cook slowly, turning occasionally.
Cook for 8–12 minutes until golden and crispy.
Transfer to paper towels to drain excess fat.
🔥 Method 2: Oven (best for batches)
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
Line a baking tray with foil or parchment paper.
Lay bacon in a single layer.
Bake for 15–20 minutes until crispy.
Remove and place on paper towels.
🔥 Method 3: Microwave (quickest)
Place bacon between paper towels on a microwave-safe plate.
Microwave on high for 3–5 minutes (depends on thickness).
Let it cool slightly—it crisps up more as it sits.
💡 Tips:
Start with a cold pan for even cooking.
For extra crispiness, cook a bit longer on low heat.
Save the leftover bacon fat for cooking eggs or potatoes—it adds amazing flavor.
