Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper or foil.
  2. Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.
  4. Transfer the bacon slices to a paper towel-lined plate for a couple of minutes to absorb the extra fat.
  5. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The nutrition info is based on the product's package. 
  • If you'd like to pan-fry the bacon, arrange the slices in a large skillet. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until heated through, 2-3 minutes per side.
  • The USDA says that duck should be cooked to 165°F.
  • You can't make this bacon crispy. Even if you cook it for longer, which I don't recommend because it will become dry and tough, it won't crisp up the way pork bacon does. I actually like its chewiness. Its slices are thick and flavorful, and the slightly chewy texture is perfect.
  • You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. Briefly reheat them in the microwave, just a few seconds per slice, until they are heated through. You can also eat them cold straight out of the fridge. They're surprisingly good that way!
