MY KIND OF TOAST!

Garlic Hummus: Combine all ingredients (garbanzo beans, tahini, olive oil or avocado oil, salt, garlic powder, pepper, water, and lemon juice) in a food processor and blend until completely smooth (blend for about 3 minutes on high). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If too thick, add a bit more water.

Shiitake Mushrooms: In a small bowl, combine pure maple syrup and soy sauce. Whisk to combine. Slice mushrooms and place them in the bowl, ensuring each mushroom is covered in sauce. In a pan over medium heat, add avocado oil and sauté the coated mushrooms for 2 minutes or until golden. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then remove from heat.

Assembly: Slice and toast your rustic bread. Spread a generous layer of the homemade hummus, then top it with the sautéed mushrooms, a pinch of pepper, and fresh cilantro.
