Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare all your ingredients.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, almond extract, and vanilla extract until well combined and frothy.
- Gently fold the bread cubes into the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and pour the soaked bread mixture into it, spreading it out evenly. Add sliced almonds and fresh berries on top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden-brown and slightly puffed. Monitor closely to avoid over-baking.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar and add more berries as desired.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze wrapped tightly for up to 2 months.

Notes
Use stale bread for the best texture and allow it to soak for maximum flavor absorption. Watch for doneness to avoid a rubbery texture.
