This was very filling and very tasty. I may have sliced my bread a bit to thick but other than that my husband and I both enjoyed it. My son really did not so I put four starts because chances are if we all aren't going to eat it I won't make it again.

Yummy!! Used a little bit of butter instead of canola oil and I did not brown the almonds first as they got plenty of browning while they cooked.

I made this for Valentine's Day brunch and my fiancee and I LOVED it! It was a bit time consuming (mostly just waiting the hour for the bread to soak in the batter), but it was well worth it. I would definitely worth it, especially for those who love Almonds.

The almonds were an ok addition, but it definitely made frying the toast more difficult. You really had to have the fryers on low if you want the toast to cook evenly. I'm not sure the difference was worth the effort.

This recipes is AWESOME! Every time we go to my brother-in-laws for brunch, this is the requested thing for us to bring. There is never any left. ai make it as is, just don't toast the almonds before cooking the french toast. I found they burned if toasted and then toasted again when cooking the toast. Thank you for sharing it!!!!

This was a hard one to make, I couldn't get the almonds to stick while it cooked. I will not make this again!

This was not a good recipe. It had no hint of a french toast taste. It was also difficult to cook. My boyfriend liked it that's why it got 2 stars. If you do try it, I wouldn't use french bread!

I was pleased with this recipe overall but had a hard time cooking the toast all the way through without burning the almonds. But my family enjoyed this recipe. I think next time I will cut the toast into "sticks" so that it will cook more evenly through.

This is th best french toast i have ever eaten! I followed the recipe and the end result was an amazing melt in your mouth, close your eyes, look up to the heavens, sigh in relief, yummy french toast. I used day old challah bread and after cooking it i sprinkled confectioners sugar, cinnamon and honey. Oh happy day! (Also, i didnt have any almonds on hand so i omitted the toasted almonds and almond extract).

My kids liked this recipe. However, make sure you don't cut your french bread slices thicker than 1", cook on medium low and cover with a lid. Some of my bread slices had some soggy middles after cooking. I only used a handful of almonds and let sit for 30 before cooking.
