Ingredients

Syrup

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon bourbon
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Bread

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon
  • 4 1.5 inch thick slices sourdough
  • 4 ounces kettle potato chips
  • butter

Instructions

  • Add the maple and bourbon to a bowl and microwave until steaming. Stir in the chocolate and continue to stir until it is melted. Taste and add more of any of the ingredients to match your personal tastes. Cover and set aside until ready to use.
  • Mix the egg, milk, salt, sugar, and bourbon in a bowl. Put the bread in a large baking dish and pour the egg mixture over it. Flip to fully coat. Allow to rest covered for 15 minutes. Flip again and rest another 15.
  • Crush up the chips. I used a food processor. Pour them onto a deep plate.
  • Preheat large frying pan to medium and add some butter.
  • One by one, let the excess egg mixture drip off the bread, then dip it into the chips. Fully coat on all sides, then add it to the pan. Repeat.
  • Cook about 5 minutes per side until golden brown. Plate 2 on each plate. Serve with butter and the maple sauce. You can microwave the sauce a little if it has cooled too much, but be careful not to overheat or the chocolate will get weird.
