Number Of Ingredients 2

1 pack gluten free bacon, we really like Applegate, not thick cut
black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with tin foil then place a baking rack on top. (I have a rack for cooling cookies that I use for making bacon too.) Arrange the bacon on the rack in an even layer without the bacon slices touching or overlapping. Sprinkle fresh cracked peper over the top according to taste.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and immediatly place the pan with the bacon in the oven. Let cook for 15 minutes before checking on the bacon for desired crispness. I usually go about 17-18 minutes because we like it really crispy.

CRISPY OVEN BACON AND EGGS



Crispy Oven Bacon and Eggs image

Bacon browns and crisps evenly in the oven without the hassle of flipping slices on the stovetop, while eggs can oven-fry alongside for perfect sunny-side-up runny yolks and tender whites. The oven's encompassing heat helps egg whites set on top before the yolks start to stiffen. Make sure to have the eggs sit at room temperature before cracking them into the hot pan: It ensures they'll cook quickly and evenly.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large eggs
8 bacon slices
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Toast, for serving

Steps:

  • Take the eggs out of the refrigerator. Place a rack in the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, spacing evenly. Roast in the center of the oven until the fat renders and the bacon curls, about 8 minutes. Very thin slices will cook more quickly; thick-cut ones will take longer.
  • Take the pan out of the oven and quickly flip the bacon and move to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs onto the other side, then immediately return the pan to the oven and roast until the whites are just set, the yolks are still runny and the bacon is brown and crisp, 2 to 5 minutes longer. If you prefer medium or hard egg yolks or extra-crisp bacon, cook a few minutes more, but take out the bacon before it burns.
  • Using a spatula, cut the eggs apart. Slide them off the pan and onto plates right away to stop the yolks from solidifying. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain the bacon on paper towels, then add to the plate along with toast. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality bacon: Look for bacon with minimal marbling and a consistent thickness to ensure even cooking.
  • Preheat your oven: Always preheat your oven to the desired temperature before placing the bacon inside. This helps the bacon cook evenly and prevents it from becoming chewy.
  • Line your baking sheet: To make cleanup easier, line your baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Arrange the bacon strips: Place the bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
  • Set the cooking time: Depending on the thickness of your bacon and your desired crispiness, adjust the cooking time accordingly. Start with 15-20 minutes and check the bacon regularly to prevent overcooking.
  • Drain the bacon: Once cooked, transfer the bacon slices to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Conclusion:

Crispy oven-baked bacon is an easy and delicious addition to any breakfast, brunch, or lunch dish. With just a few simple steps and minimal ingredients, you can enjoy perfectly cooked bacon that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Experiment with different bacon flavors and thicknesses to find your perfect combination.
