Crispy Oven-Baked Boar's Head Bacon Breakfast Delight

Ingredients

- 8 slices Boar's Head bacon
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a crispy and even cook for the bacon.

2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to catch the bacon drippings for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. This will allow the bacon to cook evenly and become crispy.

3. Arrange the Bacon: Lay the Boar's Head bacon slices on the wire rack. Ensure the slices do not overlap for optimal crispiness.

4. Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, combine the black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

5. Season the Bacon: Evenly sprinkle the seasoning mix over the bacon slices.

6. Sweeten the Deal: Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each bacon slice with maple syrup for a hint of sweetness.

7. Bake the Bacon: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness. Keep an eye on the bacon in the last few minutes to prevent burning.

8. Cool and Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the bacon to cool for a few minutes on the wire rack. This will also help it to firm up. Serve immediately as part of your breakfast.
