Toast is rapidly proving to be the new favorite trend on food TikTok and for good reason.
The latest variation with melty burrata cheese, marinara sauce, sweet tomatoes and decadent truffle oil came from Hailey Bieber who shared her snack recipe that's racked up over 2.9 million views on the social media platform.
Even chef Mario Carbone of the famed New York City Italian hotspot beloved by celebrities -- including Bieber -- hopped on the trend over the weekend. His riff added calabrian chili paste and anchovies for a chef-approved added depth of flavor.
