Make simple syrup by combining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a pot and bringing it to a boil; let it cool.

In a food processor, combine 1 cup almond flour, 1 stick of softened butter, 1/3 cup sugar, 2 egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon almond extract; process for about 30 seconds until smooth.

Slice stale brioche into thick slices, about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick; use one piece per person.

Brush the top of each brioche slice with the cooled simple syrup.

Spread a spoonful of your favorite jam on each slice of brioche.

Spread a layer of almond cream over the jam, ensuring the jam is still visible.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the prepared brioche slices on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes until brown and bubbly; keep an eye on it.

Remove from the oven, dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with toasted almonds and fresh berries.
