Ingredient Notes and Alternatives
Bread Toast:

Mushrooms:
- You can use a variety of edible mushrooms such as cremini mushrooms, portobello mushrooms, or shiitake mushrooms. To prepare the toasts, I chose white button mushrooms. The taste of all mushrooms will be different.
Garlic:
- It gives a super delicious flavor to the dish. You can add less or a high quantity of garlic depending on your food choice.
Butter:
- I used unsalted and softened (normal temperature) butter. It provides a creamy and rich texture.
Miso paste:
- You can find this paste at any supermarket, or vegan-friendly stores.
Vegan Ricotta:
- Instead of this item, you can use hummus, or vegan cream cheese for extra flavors.
Topping:
- You can add chopped black pepper, vegan grated parmesan cheese, sliced green onions, or pickled onions.
