Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, and button), cleaned and sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

2 tablespoons cream cheese or vegan cream cheese

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

4 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread

Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado: Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Use a fork to mash the avocado to your desired consistency (smooth or chunky). Set aside.

    Cook the Mushrooms: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and tender.

      Add Garlic and Thyme: Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the minced garlic and thyme to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Mix with Cream Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cream cheese until well combined with the mushrooms. This will create a creamy mushroom mixture.

          Toast the Bread: While the mushroom mix is cooling slightly, toast the slices of bread to your preferred crispness.

            Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the smashed avocado on each slice of toasted bread. Top the avocado with the creamy mushroom mixture.

              Garnish: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired and garnish with chopped parsley for an extra burst of flavor.

                Serve: Serve immediately while the toast is warm and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!
