Crostini on a whole nother level or what to put on those little toasted slices of bread when tomatoes aren’t in season.
Mushroom and Thyme Crostini with Vegan Ricotta – Vegan Appetizer
Hey there! Is anyone cooking for guest sometime soon? Or are you just planning to have a beautiful meal with your family. Well, then I’ve got the perfect recipe for you: mushroom and thyme crostini with vegan ricotta spread, amazing, let me tell you.
I love this recipe whenever I am cooking for guests.
Crostini are in fact one of my favourite things to prepare as an appetizer for guests. They are so versatile and they always look like you’ve put a ton of effort in to making them, however, they were in fact prepared within minutes. In summer I like to go for the classic tomato and olive oil version, however, during this time of the year I like to experiment a little. That is why I came up with this mushroom and thyme version, which was made even more special by adding a layer of my vegan “ricotta”, which is also prepared within minutes.
Crostini are the perfect side or appetizer!
I also love having crostini as a side whenever I don’t feel like preparing a grain or pasta, they go wonderfully with a variety of roasted vegetables and salad. Imagine a tray of beautifully roasted seasonal veggies with loads of fresh herbs alongside a huge bowl of fresh greens with a light dressing and then a few of these on the side, is your mouth watering yet? Well, mine sure is. So let’s get going with the recipe:
