3. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the sugar evenly over the bread.
4. Broil 4 inches from the heat, only long enough to lightly brown the bread, about 1 minute or less; then remove.
5. Put the cream cheese into a mixing bowl, add the almond extract and mix together until smooth.
6. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the bread pieces.
7. Top each piece of bread with the berries and slivered almonds.
