Summary

Add a little pizazz to your everyday avocado toast by topping it with sautéed chanterelle mushrooms. They not only have an elegant flavor that matches their fancy name, but they’re also brimming with lots of nutrients like vitamin D, B vitamins, and fiber. Avocado offers healthy plant-based fats and nutritional yeast brings protein and vitamin B12 (if fortified). Just think, all of this nutrition in one simple-to-make breakfast!

Breakfast Chanterelle Avocado Toast

Ingredients

 3 oz chanterelles, fresh, or dried and soaked, see Chef’s Notes (approximately 2 cups)
 2 tbsp sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
 ½ cup vegetable broth (unsalted, preferably homemade)
 1 tsp rosemary (minced)
 2 tbsp parsley (chopped)
 salt (optional) to taste
 ground black pepper (optional) to taste
 2 slices whole grain bread (of choice)
 1 large avocado (seed removed, smashed in a bowl)
 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)

Directions

1

Heat a large stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the mushrooms (after soaking, if using dried, see Chef’s Notes) and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2

Turn the heat down to medium and stir in the sherry vinegar and lemon juice. Stir to coat the mushrooms.

3

Stir in the vegetable broth and rosemary. Continue cooking until the mushrooms have completely absorbed the liquid, about 3–5 minutes.

4

Remove the chanterelles from the heat and stir in the parsley and salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

5

Assemble your avocado toast: Divide the smashed avocado between the two slices of toasted whole grain bread, spreading it out evenly on each slice.

6

Divide the chanterelle mushrooms between the two avocado toasts.

7

Sprinkle with nutritional yeast, if desired.

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Use another mushroom of choice in place of chanterelles, such as shiitake, cremini, or portobello.

Use lime juice, orange juice, or apple cider vinegar in place of the lemon juice.

Instead of nutritional yeast, try Vegan Walnut Parmesan.

Reconstituting Dried Chanterelles
To rehydrate the dried chanterelles, add them to a bowl with enough water to cover them completely. Soak for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse to remove any residue before using them in the recipe.

Prep Ahead
Prepare the mushrooms ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
