Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

¼ cup cream cheese (or vegan cream cheese)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread

Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish

Red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Mushrooms: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. When they turn golden brown, add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside to cool slightly.

    Prepare the Avocado: In a medium bowl, scoop out the ripe avocados and mash them with a fork. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Blend in the cream cheese until you achieve a creamy consistency.

      Toast the Bread: While preparing the avocado, toast the slices of bread until golden brown and crispy.

        Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the creamy avocado mixture onto each slice of toasted bread. Top with the sautéed mushrooms.

          Garnish: Sprinkle fresh herbs over the top and add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like some heat.

            Serve: Enjoy your Creamy Mushroom Smashed Avocado Toast immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy!
