Ingredients
  

4 slices of whole-grain bread

1 ripe avocado

1 cup of mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster), sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)

Red pepper flakes (optional, for some heat)

Fresh lemon juice (for garnish)

Microgreens (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

    Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mixed mushrooms to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce and thyme, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If using, sprinkle in the nutritional yeast for added flavor and stir until combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Toast the Bread: While the mushrooms are cooking, toast the whole-grain bread slices until golden and crispy.

        Prepare the Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork, adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you enjoy a little heat.

          Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado on each slice of toasted bread. Top with the sautéed mushrooms, spreading them evenly across the toast.

            Garnish: Garnish with microgreens, an additional squeeze of lemon juice, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.

              Serve Immediately: Enjoy your savory mushroom avocado toast while warm, paired with a side of fresh salad or some sliced tomatoes.
