Ingredients

  • 5 bacon slices

Instructions

  1. Using a microwave safe plate or baking dish, add 5 layers of paper towels on the bottom.

  2. Add bacon slices in one layer on top of the paper towels. Cover the bacon slices with 2-3 more paper towels.

  3. Cook in the microwave for 4-6 minutes depending on desired crispiness (less time will be softer bacon).

  4. Carefully remove the plate from the microwave (it will be hot), then remove the layers of paper towels and discard. Serve bacon immediately or set aside to use in desired recipe!

Recipe Notes

Cook time can also depend on microwave models. Start with a lower time and add time to increase crispiness of bacon.
