How to Make Thoroughbread Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Gradually add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, bourbon (if using), and corn syrup to the eggs, whisking constantly until well combined.
  4. Stir in the melted butter and flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
