Avocado Toast with Mushrooms

YOU’LL NEED

The 3 main ingredients are avocado, mushrooms and bread.

Avocado: any types of avocado is fine here, make sure it’s ripe.

Mushrooms: for this recipe I used chestnut mushrooms, but you can use any mushrooms you’d like, for example oyster, porcini or maitake.

Bread: use something hearty, sourdough is great for this recipe; toast it just before serving.

TOPPING IDEAS

This toast is delicious as it is, but there are a lot of options for adding more layers of flavour. Feel free to be creative with topping ideas. I like this toast with fresh spinach leaves or cress, or both! Further topping ideas:

*fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, rosemary, oregano, parsley or sage

*fresh vegetables, such as radishes or cucumbers

*hot sauce or red pepper flakes

*grated cheese

*hemp seeds

*nuts
