Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat.
2. Whisk together first 6 ingredients (through almond extract) in
a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in both types of milk. Pour
mixture into a shallow baking dish. Working in batches, if
necessary, place bread in dish and let soak 3 minutes on each
side.
3. Coat a griddle or skillet with cooking spray. For each slice of
the bread, place 2 tablespoons almonds in a single (but fairly
densely packed) layer on the hot griddle, forming an area the
size and shape of a bread slice. Press 1 side of the bread into
the almonds, and cook 4 minutes or until golden brown. (You will
probably need to repeat this process in 2 batches.) Flip the
bread over, and cook 3–4 minutes or until speckled golden
brown. Serve immediately.
