  Cut slices of brioche 0.8 inch thick (or 1.5 cm) and put on a baking sheet.
• 2: Mix 4 tablespoons sugar syrup and 1 tablespoon rum.
• 3: With a brush, drench each slice with this syrup.
• 4: Spread a good layer of almond cream.
• 5: Scatter with 2 tablespoons flakeds almonds.
• 6: And sprinkle with 2 tablespoons icing sugar.
• 7: Put in the oven for about 20 minutes, until slices are light brown on top and almond cream well risen.
• 8: Leave to cool before serving.

Remarks

For a softer dessert you can remove crusts from brioche slices before adding syrup, this will allow you to cook longer without the crust browning too much, like in these photos.
Don't hesitate to use thicker slices, in which case add syrup to both sides.
A dessert suggestion: serve warm, with a vanilla ice-cream.
