Although many people enjoy crispy bacon, some prefer it soft and slightly chewy in texture. When preparing soft bacon, make sure it is thoroughly cooked to the recommended temperature to avoid the risk of catching a food-borne illness. Serve the smoky, salty meat strips along with your favorite breakfast items, such as omelets, fried, poached or scrambled eggs, or pancakes and waffles. There are several ways to prepare bacon, but cooking it in a skillet will allow you to ensure a soft texture.
