For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving. To enhance the crispiness of the bacon, bake it in the oven at 400°F (200°C) on a wire rack. If you prefer fresh green beans, blanch them in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process before adding them to the skillet. Experiment with different types of feta cheese, such as a tangy Greek feta or a milder French feta, to customize the flavor profile.
