Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375℉/190℃ bake. Then slice your baguette into quarter-inch slices, and arrange them in a single layer on a large baking sheet (or two if needed). Bake the bread for 5-8 minutes, or until golden and crunchy.
Meanwhile, dry sauté the mushrooms with a sprinkle of salt + pepper (they will release a lot of moisture and should not stick to your pan) until reduced, approx. 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
Next, add all the ricotta ingredients to your food processor and process until mostly smooth and combined. It should be thick, but spreadable.
Assemble your vegan crostini by spreading the ricotta on each slice of toasted bread, then top them with a few slices of mushrooms, and finally drizzle them with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with chopped basil.
