Step 1
Place the 8 bacon slices in a cold, large skillet in a single layer, making sure they don't overlap.
Step 2
Set the skillet over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the bacon starts to sizzle and release its fat.
Step 3
Flip the bacon with tongs and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, until it is browned and crispy to your liking.
Step 4
Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off the excess grease.
Step 5
Let the bacon rest for 1-2 minutes before serving, so it becomes perfectly crisp.
