Buttermilk French Toast that's easy to make and perfect for brunch! Thick, freshly sliced bread soaked in a vanilla buttermilk egg mixture, then cooked to golden perfection with melted butter. Fluffy on the inside, caramelized on the outside, and a recipe you'll definitely want to have on hand for any occasion!
