Recipe Intro From alexawhatsfordinner

This toast looks to pretty to eat... BUT it's too delicious to resist! This checkered toast trend allegedly started at Davelle in New York City, but home cooks are now taking to social media with their own takes on this aesthetically pleasing dish. For mine, I used matcha milk jam and ricotta cheese as the base, with dollops of strawberry jam and yuzu marmalade. I then topped it with some fresh cherries. Feel free to checker whatever jams and combinations your heart desires! You could do nut butters and jam, cream cheese and salmon, go crazy :)
