Ingredients
Scale
Mushroom Mixture
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- Flaky salt or Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
Toast and Avocado
- 4 slices crusty bread, toasted
- 1 large avocado, peeled and sliced (or more if desired)
Toppings (Optional)
- Toasted nuts, such as walnuts or almonds
- Toasted sunflower seeds
- Cheese (e.g., feta, goat cheese, or parmesan)
- Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, chives, or cilantro)
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Additional salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook mushrooms: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms along with flaky salt and black pepper to taste. Cook the mushrooms until they caramelize and release their moisture, allowing the moisture to cook off for enhanced flavor.
- Add garlic and lemon: Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook briefly until the garlic becomes fragrant and translucent, taking care not to burn it. Remove the pan from heat and stir in about 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, adjusting to taste.
- Prepare avocado: Cut the avocado into quarters and carefully remove the skin. Slice each quarter into thin slices, ensuring even distribution for each toast.
- Layer avocado on toast: Place the toasted bread slices on a serving plate. Evenly layer avocado slices from one quarter of the avocado onto each slice of toast. Add more avocado if desired.
- Top with mushrooms and garnishes: Spoon the caramelized garlic mushrooms evenly over the avocado-covered toasts. Add your favorite toppings such as toasted nuts, sunflower seeds, cheese, or fresh herbs. Drizzle with olive oil and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a sturdy crusty bread like sourdough or rustic baguette for best texture.
- For vegan version, avoid cheese or substitute with plant-based cheese.
- Adjust lemon juice to add brightness without overwhelming the mushrooms.
- Customize toppings to add crunch and additional flavor.
- Serve immediately to keep the toast crispy and avocado fresh.
