Steps:
- Preheat a cast-iron griddle or skillet over low heat. Preheat the oven to 300˚ F. Combine the cream cheese, jam and almonds in a bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until combined.
- Slice the challah into 2-inch-thick slices. With a paring knife, make a 1/2-inch horizontal slit in the bottom crust of each slice to form a deep pocket. Using a butter knife, fill each slice with some of the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, brown sugar and almond extract in a baking dish. Dip the stuffed challah slices in the egg mixture to fully coat, about 30 seconds per side.
- Increase the griddle heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt, then add the stuffed challah to the griddle. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve. Garnish with almonds and serve with maple syrup.
