#21 mango flambe over french toast

1 mango
few tbsp maple syrup
few tbsp rum

2 slices french toast (frozen)

Toast the french toast, meanwhile dice the fruit of the mango and broil ~6 mins (I cut the mango off the rind and put on aluminum foil and placed in the broiler). Combine rum and maple syrup. Place broiled mango on french toast, flambe the rum mixture and pour overtop.

Note: mango flambe along=delicious (really delicious);
mango flambe on french toast=not so good. The rum/syrup mixture was too thin and I didn't like the combo.
