Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Mushrooms

Prepare Mushrooms: Wash and slice the mushrooms.
Sauté Garlic: Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add crushed garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring to prevent burning.
Cook Mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms, tamari sauce, and cook for 8–10 minutes until the water from the mushrooms evaporates.
Season: Stir in fresh thyme and a sprinkle of black pepper. Remove from heat.

Step 2: Prepare the Avocado

Mash Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork.
Season: Mix in lemon juice and a pinch of salt.

Step 3: Assemble the Toast

Toast Bread: Toast the bread slices until golden and crispy.
Layer Toppings: Spread a thick layer of mashed avocado on each slice, then top with the garlicky mushrooms.
Serve: Enjoy immediately while warm and fresh.

Notes

Customization: Add a sprinkle of chili flakes or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
Bread Alternatives: Use gluten-free bread for a gluten-free option, or swap sourdough with whole-grain bread for added fiber.
Meal Prep: Make the mushrooms ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat before assembling the toast.
