How to Make Almond French Toast

1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Position oven rack in the middle.
2. In a large shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
3. Spread ½ cup sliced almonds on a large plate.
4. Dip 4 slices of bread (about ½ inch thick) into the egg mixture, turning once to fully saturate.
5. Remove a slice of bread, letting excess egg mixture drip off. Dredge in almonds, gently pressing to adhere to both sides.
6. Transfer the coated bread slice to a plate or wax paper-lined baking sheet.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 with the remaining 3 slices of bread.
8. Heat 1 ½ tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook 4 slices of almond-coated French toast, turning once, until golden brown and the almonds are toasted (about 5-6 minutes per side).
9. Add another 1 ½ tablespoons butter to the skillet. Cook the remaining 4 slices in the same manner.
10. Transfer all cooked French toast to a baking sheet. Keep warm in the preheated oven while cooking the remaining slices.
