This recipe was a disaster! The almond crust was burnt and the French toast was undercooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a big fan of almonds, but I still enjoyed this recipe. The almond crust was subtle and didn't overpower the flavor of the French toast.

The almond crust was a bit too sweet for me, but I was able to balance it out by using less syrup. Overall, I enjoyed this recipe.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bread. I also like that it's a healthier alternative to traditional French toast.

The almond crust was a bit too thick for my taste, but the French toast itself was delicious. Next time, I'll try using less almond flour in the crust.

I love the idea of using almond flour in the crust. It gives the French toast a nice nutty flavor. I also appreciate that the recipe doesn't call for a lot of sugar.

This recipe is a keeper! The almond crust is crispy and flavorful, and the French toast is fluffy and soft. I've already made it twice, and my family loves it.
