How To Make Air Fryer Mushroom Toast

Sliced mushrooms in a bowl being tossed with olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.

Step One: In a small bowl, toss sliced mushrooms with olive oil (or melted butter), minced garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme or parsley if using.

Seasoned mushrooms cooking in an air fryer basket at 375°F until golden and tender.

Step Two: Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F. Place the seasoned mushrooms in the air fryer basket or on a tray in a single layer. Set cook time for 7-10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until tender and golden.

Bread slices brushed with olive oil toasting in the air fryer until golden and crispy.

Step Three: While the mushrooms cook, lightly brush bread slices with olive oil. Place in the air fryer and toast for 3–5 minutes until crispy and golden brown.

Step Four: Spoon the warm, garlicky mushrooms over the toasted bread. Sprinkle with cheese or extra herbs if desired. Serve immediately for a delicious, savory toast perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light meal!

Air Fryer Mushroom Toast Recipe Tips

  • Choose thick, sturdy bread like sourdough or whole grain to hold the toppings without getting soggy.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake, or portobello for deeper flavor.
  • Add herbs after cooking for a fresh, bright finish—parsley or thyme works great.
  • Toast the bread separately to ensure it stays crisp and doesn’t absorb too much moisture.
  • Top with extras like a poached egg, cheese, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a gourmet upgrade.

Storing

  • Storing: Store the cooked mushrooms and toasted bread separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This keeps the bread from getting soggy and preserves the mushrooms’ flavor.
  • Reheating: Reheat the mushrooms in a skillet or air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes until warmed through. Toast the bread in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes, then assemble just before serving.
