| 1. Preheat oven to 325°. | 2. Butter a baking sheet. | 3. Cut the bread into 8 equal slices, about 1 inch thick. | 4. Prepare filling--mash together in a medium bowl the cream cheese with the sugar and almond extract. | 5. Stir in the cherries and add more sugar if the flavor is overtly tart. | 6. The mixture should be thick and chunky. | 7. In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt. | 8. With a serrated knife, cut a pocket into the side of each piece of bread, carefully slicing into but not all the way through the bread. | 9. Spoon equal portions of the filling into each slice. | 10. Dunk the stuffed bread slices into the egg mixture and soak them several minutes, turning if needed to coat evenly, until saturated but short of falling apart. | 11. Warm 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon oil together on a griddle or in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. | 12. Cook the French toast in batches briefly until golden brown and lightly crisp, turning once. | 13. Place the first slices on the baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven. | 14. Continue cooking the remaining slices, adding more butter and oil as needed. | 15. When all of the French toast is ready, dust with powdered sugar, sprinkling it through a fine sieve. | 16. Serve immediately with maple syrup. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
