Strawberry French Toast Sliders with Cannoli Cream are divine. Make these for brunch and your family or guests will really be impressed!
If you are looking for the perfect recipe to make for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day brunch, or just a special weekend breakfast, you just found it. This recipe includes some of my favorite ingredients. I'm happy that I can get good strawberries year round in my market. Pair them with some creamy chocolate chip cannoli filling, French toast and you will be in heaven!
These Strawberry French Toast Sliders with Cannoli Cream are made with Hawaiian rolls but don't expect to pick them up with your hands. Both a knife and fork are required as they can be a little messy. I licked the plate and fork clean so the messiness was gone.
If you are a fan of my Cannoli Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries, then you will love this breakfast or brunch recipe. Let's not count calories because this is a really special breakfast. We will save the healthy frittata breakfast for some other day. This french toast contains all food groups so it's very balanced too, right?
Making this French toast requires a bit of work but I would say it's easy work. And the type of work where you are rewarded with a decadent breakfast.
The cannoli cream and strawberries can be made in advance so its easy to assemble the sliders when you want to serve them. If you make the strawberries in advance, they can be warmed in the microwave before the sliders are assembled. I usually make homemade whipped cream from scratch because it is a favorite guilty pleasure of mine but feel free to use a can if you want something even easier.

This looks amazing!! Can't wait to see what you eat in Orlando!
These look amazing! And strawberries are so good this time of year. I hope my kids make this for me next weekend. Although I will have to try to not eat too much of it since I am trying to drop a few pounds before the conference LOL!

This look so yummy! We have a dessert in Italy that we call cannoli but it's completely different from this one.
