Use store-bought pesto or make your own. To make your own follow the instructions:
1. Add cashews to a food processor and pulse until crumbly.
2. Add basil, garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3. Blend while slowly pouring in olive oil.
4. Add water a little at a time until smooth and creamy.
5. Taste and adjust salt, lemon, or garlic as needed.
To make toast:
1. Spread 2-3 tbsp of pesto sauce onto each slice of toast.
2. Top with 3-4 thin slices of WoW! plantebaseret block mozzarella alternative.
3. Place the toast in a warm pan or under the grill for 2-3 minutes until the mozzarella alternative melts.
4. Serve immediately while warm.
Chef´s tip:
– For a richer twist, pair it with Pesto Rosso, adding a naturally sweet sun-dried tomato depth.
– Olive Tapenade also can be used for a bold, briny Mediterranean flavour instead of pesto.
– Use olive oil with the mozzarella alternative or other high-oil ingredients to balance and round out the stronger savoury notes.
