Serves: 12-15 Success Tip: Cook the bacon in the microwave for less mess and easier cleanup. Place 3 paper towels on a microwave-safe plate or dish. Arrange a layer of bacon strips on the paper towels. Cover with a paper towel and arrange another layer of bacon strips. Continue with the rest of the bacon. Cover with a paper towel. Microwave on high (100%) power, 30-40 seconds per slice. Turn dish halfway through cooking time. Let bacon rest 5 minutes. Remove from paper towels. Crumble when cool.
Substitution: Use 1/4 cup of chicken broth or bouillon in place of the white wine if you prefer.
