  2. Drain the cashews if soaked. Blend all the ingredients under mozzarella cream, Taste and adjust salt and tang and set aside. If you omitted the miso, you might need to add more salt. Prep the rest of the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F / 200ºc.
  3. In a loaf pan, or other small baking dish, Add some of the pizza sauce and spread it out, then a some of the mozzarella cream. Distribute the mushroom mixture over the cream.

  6. Bake at 400 deg F / 200ºc for 25 minutes.
