Author Notes: I wanted to call this Mexican toast but seeing as “French” Is a misnomer too I opted for “Pan.”
The sauce is a combination of maple syrup, orange juice and spice that is a real zing to the palate. If the amount of butter concerns you, you could either use something lower fat or just eat half a serving. - Punk Kin

Serves 2

For the Toast:

4 slices bread ( a chewy bread such as sour dough will get crisper)
2 medium eggs
¼ cup evaporated milk
4 tbs. Butter (1 for the sauce 3 for the toast)

The Sauce

4 tbs. Orange juice
4 tbs maple syrup
1/8 tsp ground cardamon
dash cayenne
half a sweet apple (I used ambrosia)sliced thin and diced
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Combine first 4 ingredients
melt 1 tbs butter in small saute pan.
When butter is sizzling, add cinnamon and apples.
Stir to coat apples for about one minute.
Add juice-syrup mixture and simmer until it reduces about 4-5 minutes( depending on your stove.*)
Remove form heat.
Whisk eggs and milk together.
Melt remaining butter in large pan or griddle.
Drudge bread in egg mixture.

* everyone's stove/pan/heat ratio is different. Its not rocket science its french toast. So I recommend doing the toast however it works best for your kitchen situation.
