While center cut bacon provides a great balance of meat and fat, feel free to experiment with other varieties. You can swap in thin-sliced bacon for an even quicker cook time, or choose a thicker cut if you prefer a chewier, meatier texture. For a subtle flavor twist, try bacon seasoned with black pepper or a hint of maple.
