Place diced bread in a stainless steel bowl. Soak the bread in the cream/egg mixture until bread is completely saturated, at least one hour. Add sliced almonds.

Prepare a baking dish with parchment paper. Spray well with nonstick spray.

Bake in a water bath in a 350 degree oven until custard is set and bread begins to caramelize. About 30 -45 minutes.
