Cooking the Mushrooms

  5. Reduce the heat to low, remove the lid, and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Add in the vinegar, toss again, and then increase the heat to high to burn off any excess liquid.

  2. Mash the avocado right onto the toasted bread.
  3. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top and layer your warm mushrooms over the avocado.
  4. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Serve with red pepper flakes or microgreens for added flavor and presentation. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days, but prepare fresh toast and avocado when ready to eat.
