Ingredients

  • 1 baguette loaf sliced into 12 (1-inch) rounds
  • 8 ounces vegan ricotta cheese room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms de-stemmed and thin sliced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 scallions finely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Arrange baguette slices in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake 1-2 minutes, just until lightly toasted.  Allow the bread to cool then spread ricotta, to taste, on each piece.
  • Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the mushrooms and sauté for 3 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and continue cooking for an additional 1 minute.
  • Add white wine, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently for 1 minute; liquid will be reduced slightly. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 of the scallions.
  • Top each crostini with a heaping spoonful of the mushroom mixture, garnish with a sprinkling of the remaining scallions, and serve warm.
