Ingredients
  

2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread

1 ripe avocado

1 cup of mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or button), sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread: Begin by toasting the bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster or an oven broiler for this step.

    Sauté the Mushrooms: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the sliced mushrooms, stirring occasionally. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are cooked down and nicely browned.

      Add Seasoning: Pour in the balsamic vinegar, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.

        Prepare Avocado: While the mushrooms are cooking, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the fresh lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Mash it lightly with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.

          Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado onto each slice of toasted bread. Top evenly with the sautéed mushroom mixture.

            Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or chives on top for a burst of color and flavor.

              Serve: Enjoy your savory mushroom avocado toast immediately while warm!
