Another is fresh and colorful with ripe avocado and garden-fresh tomatoes. The mushrooms? Oh, they add that deep, umami warmth that ties it all together. It’s a visual feast, too—pops of color, layers of texture, and that rustic, wholesome look that makes you want to snap a photo before the first bite. Ready to bring this vibrant, mouthwatering trio to life in your own kitchen? Let’s toast to flavor and simplicity!
Ingredients:
• 2 thick slices of rustic sourdough or multigrain bread
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon butter (for scrambling eggs)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing mushrooms)
• 1/2 cup cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 avocado, sliced
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Optional: garlic powder, chili flakes, or lemon juice for added flavor
Step-by-Step:
Step 1: Prepare the Base
-
Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp, either in a toaster or on a skillet with a light brush of olive oil for extra crunch and flavor.
-
Set aside on a plate, ready to be topped. A warm slice of toast makes all the difference—it helps slightly melt and soften the toppings.
Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer.
-
Let them brown undisturbed for 2–3 minutes, then stir occasionally until they’re tender and caramelized (about 5–6 minutes total). Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
-
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with a pinch of salt. For fluffier eggs, add a teaspoon of milk or cream.
-
Melt butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and gently stir with a spatula, pushing from the edges toward the center. Cook slowly until just set and creamy—do not overcook.
Variations:
• Replace feta with goat cheese, parmesan, or dairy-free cheese for a different twist.
• Add a poached egg instead of scrambled for a runny yolk experience.
• Use roasted red peppers or zucchini instead of cherry tomatoes for seasonal flair.
• Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or hot honey for a sweet-savory contrast.
COOKING Note:
• For the best scrambled eggs, cook low and slow—rushing leads to rubbery results.
• Use ripe avocado for optimal creaminess. A slightly firm avocado won’t mash or slice as smoothly.
• Mushrooms should be browned, not steamed—cook in batches if your pan is small.
Serving Suggestions:
• Serve with a side of fresh greens tossed in lemon vinaigrette.
• Pair with a cup of strong black coffee or a refreshing herbal tea.
• Add a few olives or pickled onions on the side for a tangy contrast.
Helpful Tips:
• To keep avocado from browning, squeeze a little lemon or lime juice on top.
• Warm the feta slightly before serving for extra creaminess.
• Toast the bread in a skillet with butter for rich flavor and golden crust.
• Add microgreens or arugula for extra freshness and a peppery bite.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:
• Overcrowding the pan with mushrooms—this causes them to steam instead of brown.
• Using under-ripe avocados—always check for slight give when gently squeezed.
• Scrambling eggs over high heat—they’ll become dry and tough.
• Adding all toppings while everything is too hot—avocado and feta can lose their texture.
