Ingredients
- 1 large Baguette

- 1 large Garlic Clove
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the cashews in hot water for about 15 minutes to soften them. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

While the oven is preheating, prepare the cashew cheese. Add the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, peeled garlic clove, olive oil, water, salt, and black pepper into a food processor.
Step 4
Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the processor a few times to ensure even blending.

Slice the baguette diagonally into 1-inch thick slices. You should have about 8 slices.
Step 6
Spread a generous amount of the cashew cheese on each slice of baguette.
Step 7
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges of the baguette slices are golden and crispy.

Before serving, finely chop the fresh basil and sprinkle over the warm, dairy-free cheese baguette slices.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful dairy-free cheese baguette!
