Yield:
6 servingsIngredients
1 loaf Irish soda bread (see above)
6 eggs
2/3 cup light cream or half-and-half
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon table salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
Clotted cream or whipped cream
Strawberry or raspberry preserves or jam
Instructions
Cut soda bread into 1/2-inch slices, discarding ends. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Dip each slice into egg mixture, saturating well.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Working in batches, place slices in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Add more butter as needed. Serve warm with clotted cream or whipped cream and preserves on the side.
