Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, milk, granulated sugar, almond extract, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt and eggs in a bowl until smooth.
• Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add some butter.
• Soak the bread slices in the mixture on both sides. Cook the bread until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Sprinkle with the powdered sugar. Top with the fresh berries and peaches. Serve with maple syrup and butter.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat the half-and-half with the cinnamon, just until bubbles form around the side of the pan. Remove from the heat; set aside to steep for 30 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the nutmeg and sugar. Strain the half-and-half into the eggs and discard the cinnamon pieces. Whisk to make a smooth batter.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the bread with a serrated knife on the diagonal, into 18 1-inch-thick pieces.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add half the butter. Dip 9 of the bread slices into the batter and add to the skillet. Cook the slices, turning once, until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the toasts to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining bread. Bake until the toasts are warmed through and slightly puffy, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Divide the toast on large plates and dust with confectioners' sugar. Top with the berries and serve immediately.
• In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, citrus zests, and water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer very gently until syrupy, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the citrus juices. Combine the berries in a bowl. Strain the warm syrup over the berries and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Serve.

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Cut the bread on the bias into 1/2-inch thick slices, about 16 pieces total. Add the bread to a large resealable plastic bag, then pour in the egg mixture, seal the bag and turn several times to make sure all the bread pieces are coated.
• Put the bag in a medium bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• One by one, remove the bread pieces from the egg mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drip away onto a large baking sheet fitted with a rack.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet pan over medium heat. When the butter is melted and starts to lightly bubble, add half of the bread pieces to the pan in a single layer. Cook until browned on the first side, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until lightly browned on the second side and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large platter or baking sheet. Carefully wipe out the pan and repeat with the remaining butter and bread.
• To serve, divide the French toast among plates. Dust with confectioners' sugar and top with the mixed berries. Serve immediately along with the maple syrup for drizzling.
