Instructions
Cut a heart shape from each bread slice, using a 3-1/2 inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. Reserve bread trimmings for other uses.
Combine milk, eggs and almond extract in a shallow dish; stir well. Dip heart-shaped bread slices into egg mixture, turning to coat both sides. Melt 1 tbsp. butter in a large skillet or on a hot griddle; arrange the slices of bread in the skillet and cook over medium heat, 3 minutes on each side or until golden. Transfer to a serving plate and keep warm.
Repeat procedure with remaining bread slices, egg mixture and butter. Sprinkle French toast with powdered sugar. Spoon almond butter into a pastry bag fitted with a decorative tip and pipe butter onto center of each heart, if desired. Garnish with fresh strawberries, if desired.
Almond butter:
Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed on an electric mixer until smooth. Chill until slightly firm but still soft enough to pipe.
