Ingredients
1/2poundthick sliced bacon
Instructions
Line a microwave safe plate or platter with two layers of paper towel.
Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the plate and cover with another two layers of paper towel.
Cook the bacon in the microwave for 3 minutes at full power (for a 1200 watt microwave).
Carefully remove the plate from the microwave, uncover and flip the bacon over.
Cover and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the desired degree of doneness.
Remove the bacon and serve immediately.
Notes
Be careful not to overcook the bacon. It does continue to crisp up after you remove it from the microwave so it’s best to remove it a little earlier if your microwave is more powerful.
