Preheat oven to 200° F. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream and vanilla. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Slice off a 2 inch thick piece of bread. Slice the piece of break half-way down (do not slice all of the way through) and insert two tablespoons lemon curd.
