- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup brandy

- Add the rest of the brandy then light on fire with a lighter. Be careful with fire! Always make sure the fan is off before playing with fire. Remove from heat.
- Make ¼" crosswise incisions in the foie gras slices, on both sides, then generously season with salt and pepper.
- In a big pan heated at high heat (pan needs to be smoking hot), place the foie gras slices in the pan and let cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until nicely browned. Gently flip and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Place on a plate and let cool down for 2 minutes.
