Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 7.5 oz shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 2 whole bread slices
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 whole ripe avocado
Saute the Mushrooms
Heat vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and lightly browned.
Toast the Bread
While the mushrooms cook, toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.
Season the Mushrooms
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Assemble the Toast
Spread smashed avocado generously over each slice of toast. Pile the sauteed mushrooms on top and finish with optional vegan parmesan cheese.
