Let me tell you—this toast is a total win when I want something that feels gourmet but comes together in a snap. The tamari-glazed mushrooms give deep umami flavor that balances perfectly with the bright lemony avocado. It’s one of my go-to savory breakfasts, especially when I need fuel without the fuss.

👩‍🍳 3. How to Make It

1. Sauté the Mushrooms:
In a pan over medium heat, warm olive oil. Sauté garlic for 1 minute, then add mushrooms and tamari. Cook for 8–10 minutes until tender. Finish with thyme and black pepper.

2. Make the Avocado Spread:
Mash ripe avocado in a bowl. Add lemon juice and salt. Stir until smooth.

Toast your bread slices to your desired crispness. Spread avocado evenly, then top with warm mushroom mixture.

4. Serve:
Enjoy immediately, optionally garnished with chili flakes or extra thyme.

🧊 4. Storage & Serving Suggestions

  • Best served fresh, but mushrooms can be pre-cooked and refrigerated up to 3 days.

  • Reheat mushrooms gently before assembling the toast.

  • Great with poached eggs on top for a protein boost.

đź’ˇ 5. Tips & FAQs

Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes! Just use gluten-free bread and ensure your tamari is certified gluten-free.

Other mushrooms to use?
Yes—shiitake, oyster, or cremini mushrooms are great for depth of flavor.

Can I meal prep this?
