Ingredients
  

1 large ripe avocado

2 cups mixed mushrooms (e.g., cremini, shiitake, or button), sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or whole grain recommended)

Optional: red pepper flakes, lemon juice, or microgreens for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the Mushrooms: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and tender. Stir in the minced garlic and thyme, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Prepare the Avocado: While the mushrooms are cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until creamy, but still slightly chunky. You can add a pinch of salt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and red pepper flakes for an extra kick if desired.

      Toast the Bread: Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crispy. This step will enhance the texture of the toast.

        Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado generously over each slice of toasted bread. Top evenly with the sautéed mushrooms. Garnish with microgreens or additional red pepper flakes if desired.

          Serve and Enjoy: Serve your mushroom avocado toast immediately while warm, and enjoy the delightful combination of creaminess and umami flavors.
