Start by placing the mascarpone cheese into a mixing bowl. Beat it slightly to soften, then add powdered sugar, almond extract, and a pinch of nutmeg. Mix until creamy. This luscious filling is going to be the heart of your French toast.

Take a slice of your brioche or challah bread. Spread a generous amount of the mascarpone mixture on one side. Place another slice on top, creating a sandwich. Repeat this process until all slices are used.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla essence, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. This egg mixture will help bind everything together and create that custardy texture.

Heat up a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of unsalted butter. Once melted, take your assembled sandwich and dip it into the egg mixture briefly on both sides. Avoid soaking it too long; you want it to absorb just enough custard without becoming soggy.

Place the dipped sandwich on the hot skillet. Allow it to cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat this process with the remaining sandwiches. Make sure to add more butter as needed.

Once cooked, transfer the stuffed French toast to a plate. Top it off with fresh berries, a sprinkle of raw cane sugar, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
