1. Spread croissant bottoms with cream cheese. Top with fresh strawberries, then sandwich with croissant tops.
2. In a deep dish, beat together eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg and almond extract.
3. Dip croissants in egg mixture and cook on a hot, buttered griddle or skillet until golden brown on both sides (be careful-croissants burn easily).
