1/3 c. confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. water

Instructions

Cut bread in half lengthwise. Spread bottom half with lemon curd. Replace top and cut down center from end to end, then crosswise into 3/4" slices. Arrange bread in small (2 1/2-cup) gratin or shallow baking dishes or a 13" x 9" baking dish. Place small baking dishes on 2 jelly roll pans.
Lightly beat eggs. Add milk, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, and salt, beating until blended. Pour 2/3 cup custard into each small casserole. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
