Ingredients
Scale
For the Mushrooms:
- 250–300g chestnut mushrooms (or mushrooms of your choice)
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- A generous splash of tamari sauce (or soy sauce for non-gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- A sprinkle of black pepper
For the Avocado:
- 1 ripe avocado
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- A pinch of sea salt or pink Himalayan salt
For the Toast:
- 2 slices of bread (preferably sourdough)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms:
- Wash and slice the mushrooms into thin pieces.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and a splash of tamari sauce. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their water and the liquid evaporates.
- Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and sprinkle with black pepper. Set aside.
- Prepare the Avocado:
- In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth (you can leave it slightly chunky if you prefer).
- Add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt, mixing well to combine.
- Toast the Bread:
- Toast the slices of sourdough until golden and crispy. You can toast them in a toaster or on a pan with a little olive oil for extra crunch.
- Assemble the Toast:
- Spread a thick layer of mashed avocado over each slice of toast.
- Top with the garlicky mushrooms and fresh thyme leaves.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, savory toast.
Notes
- Make it Vegan: This recipe is naturally vegan, but if you prefer to add a non-vegan touch, you could top it with a fried or poached egg.
- Storage: The mushrooms and avocado can be stored separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 1 day. However, the toast is best served fresh.
- Customization: You can swap out the mushrooms for other varieties like cremini or shiitake, or try different herbs like rosemary or oregano.
- Spicy Option: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for some heat.
- Gluten-Free: For a gluten-free version, use your favorite gluten-free bread.
