Matcha, Raspberry, and Almond Bostock

Created by foodthinque on behalf of Almond Board of California. Bostock is a traditional French pastry of bread soaked in syrup and topped with almond cream (frangipane). It’s a great way to use day-old bread! Think of it as the avocado toast of almonds by substituting the raspberries and matcha with other fruits, chocolate, coconut, or even salty cheese like feta.
