Chicken and Bacon

Miso-Maple Butter

Assembly

Method

Prepare Miso-Maple Butter

  1. 1

    Make the miso-maple butter

    In a bowl, mix the softened butter, miso paste, and maple syrup until well combined. Set aside.

Cook Chicken

  1. 2

    Prepare the chicken

    Season the Jidori chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  2. 3

    Fry the chicken

    In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cook Bacon and Eggs

  1. 4

    Cook the bacon

    In the same frying pan, add the bacon slices and cook until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 5

    Fry the eggs

    In the remaining bacon fat, fry the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

Assemble Sandwich

  1. 6

    Assemble the Señor Croque

    On a slice of brioche, spread some miso-maple butter, add a piece of fried chicken, a slice of cheddar, a couple of bacon slices, and top with a fried egg. Place another slice of brioche on top to complete the sandwich.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately with extra miso-maple butter on the side.
