Brioche slices with almond cream
A brioche slice, soaked in rum syrup and covered with almond cream, then browned in the oven. It's a dessert, and also a pastry which goes very well with tea or coffee at the end of the afternoon, especially when it's cold outside.

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.
