Any suggestions on concealled hanging methods for attaching a shelf-

I was thinking of a cleat system where a cleat attached to the brick
would mate with a mortise cut in the underside of the mantel top.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Yeah, Cleat is the best option.
I saw a cleat made from Alumiun at lowes made for projects like that.
There are two parts and even comes with a level to level the cleats
when attaching
