Ingredients
1 loaf Irish soda bread
6 eggs
2/3 cup light cream or half-and-half
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, divided
clotted cream or whipped cream, for serving

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 bread slice into egg mixture, saturating well.
In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Working in batches, cook slices for 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and brown the other sides. Add more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with clotted cream or whipped cream and preserves or fresh fruit on the side.
