Steps:
- Preheat a cast-iron griddle or skillet over low heat. Preheat the oven to 300˚ F. Combine the cream cheese, jam and almonds in a bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until combined.
- Slice the challah into 2-inch-thick slices. With a paring knife, make a 1/2-inch horizontal slit in the bottom crust of each slice to form a deep pocket. Using a butter knife, fill each slice with some of the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, brown sugar and almond extract in a baking dish. Dip the stuffed challah slices in the egg mixture to fully coat, about 30 seconds per side.

STUFFED FRENCH TOAST WITH FRUIT & CREAM CHEESE (BAKED)
Came up with this as a quick and filling breakfast while I was pregnant. The whole family loves it. I've found the leftovers are a little better because the flavors have a chance to blend more. It looks like a lot but it's actually quick & easy to put together. Please follow the steps for mixing ingredients as they're listed... This prevents the "floating" of the dry ingredients and makes for a smooth & blended caramel colored egg mix. Also, I always spread the cream cheese & pie filling over the bread slices rather than pouring it on top so they end up as "sandwiches". We dish them out as sandwiches but have to eat with forks :)

Tips:
- Use day-old bread for the best French toast. This will help it hold up better in the pan and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from sticking together.
- Keep the French toast warm in a low oven until you're ready to serve it. This will help it stay crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
- Serve the French toast with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
