Ingredients

10-12 slice bread - 1 inch each (I used Nature's Harvest French Bread from Costco)
4 eggs
½ cup milk
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp almond extract
2 Tbsp butter
fresh raspberries or slices strawberries for garnish
syrup for serving

For the almond butter:

½ cup butter softened
1 ½ Tbsp powdered sugar
½ tsp almond extract

Instructions

Cut bread slices into heart shapes. You can use a large, almost 4 inch heart, cookie cutter or cut your own heart shape with kitchen shears. Use trimmings for another purpose.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and 1 tsp almond extract.
In large skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter. Dip both sides of each bread heart into the egg mixture and place on the hot skillet. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
For the almond butter - in a small bowl, blend together the 1/2 cup butter, 1 1/2 Tbsp powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp almond extract.
Serve cooked french toast with the almond butter along with a sprinkling of powdered and fresh raspberries or strawberry slices. Drizzle with syrup. Serves 5-6.
