Few foods are as universally loved as perfectly crispy breakfast strips. Golden, crunchy, and full of rich flavor, they have the power to elevate any breakfast plate, sandwich, salad, or brunch spread. Yet for many home cooks, cooking them can be frustrating—splattering grease, uneven browning, curling edges, or strips that go from soft to overcooked in seconds.
The good news? There’s a simple, reliable method that removes the guesswork and delivers consistent, crispy results every single time—without standing over a hot pan.
The secret is cooking them in the oven.

Fat renders slowly, preventing burning
Minimal mess and no grease splatter
