Preheat oven to 375-degrees.

Spread 1 side of each bread slice with softened butter.

Arrange bread slices, butter side up, on a large baking sheet.

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the sugar mixture over each bread slice.

Reserve the remaining sugar mixture.

Toast bread in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.

Remove bread from oven.

Top each toasted bread slice with one slice of brie cheese.

Return the baking sheet to the oven.

Bake for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the brie cheese is melted.

While the bruschetta is baking, in a large bowl, combine sliced strawberries, vanilla extract, and the remaining sugar mixture.

Toss lightly to combine.

Place two bruschetta on each serving plate.

Spoon 1/3 cup of the strawberry mixture over each bruschetta.

Sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds.

Serve immediately.

To toast almonds, spread them in an even layer on a baking sheet.

Bake in a 350-degree oven for 5-10 minutes, or until light golden brown, stirring occasionally for even browning.
