Ultimate Mushroom Toast
Flavors of maple, creamy avocado, herbs and mushroom – dance in this recipe.
Oh mushroom. You really come perfect, as is.
Every element of this recipe is jazzed up to let the mushroom do its thing, and just be. Enjoy this thick sliced grilled toast on a sunday morning and prepare to be amazed. Grilling the bread makes it feel as if it were just baked, fresh out of the oven.

- When your griddle is hot, add mushrooms and allow them to release moisture for a few minutes (about 3-4) – with or without the griddle top on
- Add liquid aminos to mushrooms and allow to cook for an additional for 1-2 minutes
- Remove mushrooms from griddle and keep the heat on

Notes
I like to use shiitake here, but feel free to use a mushroom you have access to. Have fun!
The cilantro avocado cream sauce recipe makes plenty, save the extras for more toast for the week.
I used an anaheim pepper as my local pepper. Feel free to double up on the jalapenos, or pick a second pepper you love!
For the bread – If you do not have a griddle, feel free to use your oven broiler to toast the bread.
For the mushrooms- If you do not have a griddle, you can saute them on a skillet
