For the smoky mushroom vegan bacon:

Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or well oiled the sheet pan.

Finely chop the mushrooms into smaller pieces and place on sheet in a single layer. Drizzle 1 tsp olive oil on top of mushrooms and season with kosher salt and optional pepper.

Place mushroom in the oven and bake for 12- 15 minutes. After 12- 15 minutes, remove from the oven and toss or carefully flip mushrooms over. Return mushrooms to the oven and continue cooking until browned and crispy, about 12-15 minutes.

Remove from the oven.

Place mushrooms in a bowl or plate and blot the oil off. Then toss with coconut sugar or maple syrup, garlic and/or onion powder, smoked paprika, and optional liquid smoke. Return mushroom back to the pan and in the oven to caramelize. about 5 minutes longer.

Remove and set aside for breakfast toast topping.

Make your breakfast toast.

Before returning the mushrooms to the oven the second time, prep the a sheet pan with your toast and tomatoes. Oil the pan and place toast on top and tomatoes in a foil pack or on another pan. The toast and the tomatoes pan will be placed on top or bottom rack. All can cook in the oven at the same time I like to place the toast and tomatoes in a separate pan and bake with the last 10 minutes. The tomatoes will blister and soften. The toast will brown.

After the toast and mushrooms are ready, layer your ingredients.

Spread 2 tablespoons of hummus on each piece of toast, then add a few blistered tomatoes, followed by vegan mushroom bacon bits, herbs, and cracked pepper, sea salt.

Repeat for each piece of toast.

Notes

I used whole grain gluten free vegan bread (larger sandwich slices around 80 – 100 calories each)
