Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay the bacon strips flat on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
Bake the bacon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are crisp but not overly cooked (they will cook a little more later).
Remove the bacon from the oven and carefully drain any excess grease. Leave the bacon on the parchment-lined tray.
Sprinkle an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese over each bacon strip, followed by a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Season the cheesy bacon strips with ground black pepper to taste.
Return the bacon to the oven and bake for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the bacon strips from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Cheesy Bacon Strips as a snack or appetizer!
