Mix the evaporated milk and corn starch together in a cold sauce pan until fully combined. Add in the butter and place over medium low heat. Cook until it simmers and thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese, maple, and bacon fat. Set aside until ready to use.

Cut thick 1.5 to 2 inch slices from the bread. Remove the top and bottom crust, and slice into triangles. I was able to get three triangles from each slice. Check out the photo above if you need help. You will need 3 or 4 triangles per person.
Mix the milk, egg, sugar, salt, and spices in a bowl. Place the bread in a baking dish and pour the egg mixture over it. Flip and allow to sit for 15 minutes to a half hour to soak up as much of the liquid as it can.
Blend the chips in a food processor and pour them out on a plate. You could just crush them up in the bag by hand as well if you want.
Preheat a pan with some oil to medium heat. One by one, dip a triangle into the tortilla crumbs to coat, then add it to the frying pan until the pan is full. Cook the triangles for 3-5 minutes on all 5 sides to get a golden brown on all edges.
Pile the toasts on each plate. Drizzle on the cheese sauce and top with bacon and banana peppers.
