Ingredients
  

For the Mushroom Topping
  • 250 grams chestnut mushrooms Earthy and tender, these mushrooms provide an umami flavor.
  • 1 clove garlic Adds a touch of aromatic intensity.
  • 15 millilitres extra virgin olive oil Provides healthy fats and Mediterranean flavor.
  • 15 millilitres tamari sauce Gluten-free alternative to soy sauce.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves Adds freshness and complexity.
  • freshly ground black pepper To taste.
For the Toast Base
  • 1 ripe avocado Brings creaminess and nutrients.
  • 1/2 unit lemon Juice to brighten the avocado.
  • Pinch sea salt or pink Himalayan salt Elevates the overall taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large non-stick frying pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the crushed garlic and sauté for about a minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  3. Add the cleaned and sliced chestnut mushrooms to the pan, alongside the tamari sauce. Sauté for 8 to 10 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender.
  4. Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and season with freshly ground black pepper. Allow to cook for another minute.
Mixing
  1. In a separate bowl, mash the ripe avocado until creamy. Mix in the juice of 1/2 lemon and a pinch of salt, ensuring it's smooth.
Toasting
  1. Toast your slices of sourdough bread until they are crisp and golden brown.
Assembly
  1. Spread the creamy avocado evenly onto each slice of crisp toast.
  2. Top generously with the sautéed mushrooms. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding smoked paprika or nutritional yeast to the mushrooms. You can also top your toast with a poached egg or crumbled feta cheese for extra richness.
