A delicious and nutritious avocado mushroom toast packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from avocados and immune-boosting compounds from garlic and mushrooms, transforming simple ingredients into a gourmet meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium Ripe Avocados
- 8 oz Button or Cremini Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic Cloves, minced
- 4 thick slices Crusty Bread
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Fresh Herbs (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Mushrooms – Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Don’t overcrowd the pan for best results.
- Step 2: Add Garlic – Add minced garlic to the mushroom pan and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can become bitter.
- Step 3: Prepare Avocado – While mushrooms cool slightly, mash ripe avocados in a bowl with salt and pepper. Leave some chunks for texture or make completely smooth based on preference.
- Step 4: Toast Bread – Toast bread slices until golden brown and crispy. The bread should be sturdy enough to hold the toppings without becoming soggy.
- Step 5: Assemble – Spread mashed avocado generously on each toast slice, then top with the garlicky mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- Choose avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren’t mushy – they should feel like a ripe peach for perfect spreading consistency
- Don’t move mushrooms too frequently while cooking; let them develop a golden crust for maximum flavor and better texture
- Add a splash of lemon juice to mashed avocado to prevent browning and enhance the overall flavor profile
- Use day-old bread for better structure – fresh bread can become soggy under the weight of toppings
