This delightful vegetarian recipe is perfect for those leisurely weekend brunches or special morning meals with family and friends. With its soft, luscious texture and rich flavor profile, this French toast is bound to impress everyone at the table.

The secret to achieving that pillowy softness lies in the use of well-shaken buttermilk, which adds a subtle tang and uniquely moist texture to each slice of challah.

Irresistibly golden-brown slices that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Drizzling your toast with warm maple syrup elevates this dish to a whole new level of decadence. Whether you're treating yourself to a weekday breakfast or hosting a brunch gathering, Buttermilk French Toast is not only easy to prepare but also a crowd-pleaser that will leave everyone craving more. With a total prep and cook time of just 40 minutes, you can enjoy this breakfast delight alongside fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for an even sweeter treat. Prepare to indulge in a breakfast classic that tastes as good as it looks!
