| 1. Preheat oven to 300F (150C). | 2. Butter a baking sheet. | 3. Cut bread into 8 equal slices about 1 inch thick. | 4. Mash the cream cheese with 1 tbsp sugar and almond extract in a medium bowl. | 5. Stir in the cranberries and taste. | 6. Add more sugar if the flavor is too tart. | 7. The mixture should be thick and chunky. | 8. In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, 1 tbsp sugar, vanilla, and salt. | 9. With a serrated knife, cut a pocket into the side of each piece of bread, carefully slicing into but not through the bread. | 10. Spoon equal portions of the filling into each slice. | 11. Dunk the stuffed bread slices into the egg mixture and soak for several minutes, turning if needed to coat evenly, until saturated but short of falling apart. | 12. Warm 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp oil together on a griddle or in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. | 13. Briefly cook the French toast in batches until golden brown and lightly crisp, turning once. | 14. Place the first slices on the baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven. | 15. Continue cooking the remaining slices, adding more butter and oil as needed. | 16. When all of the French toast is ready, dust it with confectioners' sugar, sprinkling it through a strainer. | 17. Serve immediately with maple syrup. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
