Mushroom Avocado Toast
This is what happens when you take two of my toast faves and join them together. Mushroom Toast + Avocado Toast = today's recipe for Mushroom Avocado Toast. This super easy and simple recipe is packed with flavor and is delicious as a quick lunch, brunch or breakfast. I love this toast paired with a matcha latte in the mornings. Watch me make it and get the recipe!....
Mushrooms are one of my favorite ingredients to work with. They provide so much savory flavor and hearty texture. And of course, avocados are something I always have on hand and love to work with. You can use any mushrooms you'd like. Shiitake is my personal fave, but for extreme ease, I used pre-sliced crimini mushrooms today. You can really get exotic with the mushrooms you choose to use. Try enoki, oyster or my other fave, maitake!
Mushroom Avocado Toast
This simple and flavorful vegan avocado toast is topped with warm skillet mushrooms and has a mildly garlic flavor. Mushroom Avocado Toast is perfect for brunch!
Ingredients
2 cups mushrooms, sliced, any variety
2-3 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2-4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp balsamic or apple cider vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
2 slices bread, toasted
1 small avocado
1/2 fresh lemon - for the juice
Instructions
Warm skillet over high heat. Add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic. About a minutes later, pour in the mushrooms. Toss in the oil a bit with a spatula.
Cover the pan with a lid and allow the mushrooms to cook for 1-3 minutes, just until tender and lightly browned.
Reduce heat to low, remove lid, add salt and pepper and toss the mushrooms a bit. Turn heat off and add in the vinegar. Toss. Turn heat back up to high and allow to burn off any excess liquid. Mushrooms should be lightly browned and greatly reduced in size by now. Turn heat off and let them sit in the pan while you prep the toast.
Toast bread and mash avocado into toast. Squeeze lemon over top.
Top avocado toast with warm mushrooms. Slice and serve.
