10-Minute Mushroom Avocado Toast
Description
10-Minute Mushroom Avocado Toast uses ripe avocado mashed onto toasted bread and topped with shiitake mushrooms cooked until tender and lightly browned in vegan butter and seasoned with thyme, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. The shiitake mushrooms offer a meaty texture and earthy flavor, while the red pepper flakes provide a subtle heat. Using thyme gives a fragrant herbal note to the sautéed mushrooms. The vegan butter or olive oil lightly sears the mushrooms without excess moisture, preserving a crisp edge.
The creamy avocado contrasts with the warm, savory mushroom topping, making it a balanced and flavorful bite. This combination delivers a wholesome texture from the bread, creamy smoothness from the avocado, and a tender mushroom topping with herbaceous and mildly spicy seasoning. The call out for specific bread types like Whole Grain, Wheat, or Gluten-Free ensures a sturdy foundation and additional texture.
To serve, prepare fresh so the toast retains its crunch and the avocado remains creamy and bright. The recipe suggests optional vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast for added umami and a cheesy note. It makes an excellent quick meal or snack offering plant-based fats and fiber along with complex flavors from the mushrooms and herbs.
Use nearly ripe avocado for best texture and flavors; keep pit in leftover avocado and store it in a sealed bag to prevent browning for up to 4 days.Shrimp is swapped for shiitake mushrooms for less moisture and quicker browning; other mushrooms like oyster or lion’s mane can substitute if cooked properly.Choose sturdy whole grain or gluten-free breads that hold up to moist toppings without becoming soggy.
Ingredients
AVOCADO TOAST
- 2 lices bread (Wheat, Whole Grain Seeded, or Gluten-Free // see notes for store-bought GF recommendations)
- 1/2-3/4 medium avocado see notes for tips!, ripe
MUSHROOMS
- 1-2 Tbsp vegan butter (we like Miyoko’s // or sub olive oil // dairy butter also works if not dairy-free)
- 7-8 oz. shiitake mushrooms see notes if subbing other mushrooms // 8 oz. yields ~3 cups sliced, sliced
- 1/2 tsp thyme or sub twice as much fresh, dried
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional // for heat)
- 1 pinch each salt sea salt
- 1 pinch each black pepper sea salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
FOR SERVING
- vegan parmesan cheese (optional // or nutritional yeast and flaky salt)
Instructions
- Heat 1 Tbsp (14 g) vegan butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, thyme, and red pepper flakes (optional). Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned — about 5-7 minutes. If the mushrooms are sticking to the pan, reduce the heat slightly or add more butter or oil.
- Meanwhile, toast bread in the oven or a toaster.
- Once the mushrooms are lightly browned, turn off the heat and stir in the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust as needed, adding more salt to taste or black pepper for spice.
- Top the toasted bread with ripe avocado and use a fork to smash. Then top with sautéed mushroom mixture and vegan parmesan cheese (optional). Eat, repeat, enjoy!
- Best when fresh. Not freezer friendly.
Notes
- Use nearly ripe avocado and store leftovers in the fridge with the pit in a sealed bag to slow browning, removing any brown spots before use.
- Shiitake mushrooms are preferred for their lower moisture and ability to brown nicely; oyster, morel, or lion’s mane mushrooms are suitable alternatives if adjusted for cooking time.
- Choose firm bread varieties such as Little Northern Bakehouse Sprouted 7 Grain or New Cascadia gluten-free bread to maintain texture with toppings.
- Nutrition info is approximate and based on specified bread and minimum amounts of avocado and vegan butter, excluding optional toppings.
