Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by heating a skillet over medium heat, adding in the olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn a rich, golden brown and have released their juices. This ensures they are fully cooked and deeply flavorful. If the pan starts to dry out, add a splash of water to prevent sticking without adding extra oil.
2. 2.
   While the mushrooms are cooking, toast the slices of whole grain bread to your desired crispness. This provides a sturdy base that won't become soggy from the avocado or mushrooms. Using a toaster delivers consistent results, but a quick pan-toasting can bring a bit of extra flavor from residual oil in the skillet.
3. 3.
   As the bread toasts, prepare the avocado by slicing it in half and removing the pit. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork until it's smooth, yet slightly chunky for texture contrast. Stir in the salt to enhance the avocado's natural creaminess.
4. 4.
   Once the mushrooms are perfectly cooked, begin assembling the toast. Spread a generous layer of the seasoned avocado onto each slice of toasted bread, ensuring an even distribution for flavor in every bite.
5. 5.
   Top each avocado-topped slice with a portion of the sautéed mushrooms. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of textures and temperatures. If the mushrooms cool too much before serving, a quick reheat in the pan ensures they're warm and fragrant.
