The Ultimate Garlicky Mushroom & Avocado ToastAn earthy, savory masterpiece featuring caramelized mushrooms and velvety avocado.
🛒 Ingredients
For the Garlicky Mushrooms:
250-300g Chestnut Mushrooms (sliced for maximum surface area)
1 clove Garlic,
crushed (fresh is best!)
1 tbsp Olive OilA generous splash of Tamari Sauce
(adds that essential umami kick)
2 tbsp Fresh Thyme LeavesA sprinkle of Black PepperFor the Assembly:
2 Large Slices of Sourdough or your favorite artisanal bread
1 Ripe Avocado,
mashed or thinly sliced
Optional: A squeeze of lemon or a pinch of chili flakes👩🍳 Culinary
Directions
Sauté the Mushrooms:
Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chestnut mushrooms and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to get that perfect golden-brown sear.
Infuse the Flavor:
Add the crushed garlic and fresh thyme leaves. Stir frequently for another 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
The Secret Splash:
Pour in the tamari sauce and add the black pepper. The mushrooms will absorb the savory liquid, turning glossy and deeply flavorful. Remove from heat.
Toast the Bread:
While the mushrooms rest, toast your bread until it’s sturdy and golden.
The Assembly:
Spread a thick layer of avocado onto each slice of toast. Top generously with the warm, garlicky mushrooms, making sure to drizzle any remaining juices from the pan over the top.
✨ Why This WorksThe Texture Contrast: The crunch of the toast, the silkiness of the avocado, and the meaty “bite” of the chestnut mushrooms create a perfect symphony in every mouthful.
