Almond Raspberry French Toast Recipes

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut four thick slices on a diagonal from the French or Italian loaf.
In a large shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, sugar, almond extract, and vanilla.
Add the bread to the egg mixture and turn gently to coat evenly. Let sit until the bread has soaked up some of the egg mixture, about 1 minute.
Preheat an electric skillet to 350 degrees F. and lightly oil it. (Or heat a large frying pan over medium heat and lightly oil it.)
Spread the almonds on a plate. Remove one piece of bread from the egg mixture, letting the excess liquid drip back into the bowl. Dip one side of the bread into the almonds. Press gently to help the nuts adhere to the bread, then place on an ungreased small baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
Lightly oil a second small baking sheet (or generously spray it with non-stick spray).
Place the bread slices, almond side down, on the skillet and cook until the nuts begin to brown about 2 minutes.
Turn the slices over and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes more.
Move the slices, almond side down, to the lightly oiled baking sheet.
Put the baking sheet with the toast in the oven and bake until the center of the bread is heated through but is still moist about 10 minutes.
Place two pieces of the French toast onto one plate and two pieces onto a second plate, almond side up. Top each with a pat of butter, a handful of raspberries, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
