Method

Garlic Bread Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Bread

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, and salt. Brush the mixture over the cut sides of the baguette. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.

Vegan Basil-Cashew Pesto Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine basil leaves, cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Fresh Tomato-Basil Relish Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Relish

    Dice the fresh tomatoes and red onion. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes.

Calamata Olive Tapenade Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Tapenade

    In a food processor, combine Calamata olives, capers, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until it reaches a chunky consistency.

Cheese Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Cheese Options

    For sesame-crusted goat cheese, roll goat cheese in sesame seeds. For house-made almond cheese, soak almonds overnight, then blend with nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Bruschetta Platter

    Once the garlic bread is done, slice it into pieces. Arrange the garlic bread on a platter with bowls of pesto, tomato-basil relish, Calamata olive tapenade, and the cheese options. Serve immediately.
