Beat the eggs and sugar together till light, adding a dash of salt, and stir into the prepared bread. Mix well, and turn into a greased pudding-dish, and bake for 45 minutes in a moderate oven. Serve with a creamy sauce, which is made as follows: Cream 1/2 cup of butter with 1 cup of powdered sugar, and beat till it is light.
