Cashew Cream Cheese on Toast with Morels & Ramps

Caramelised seasonal vegetables accent our savoury Cashew Cream Cheese spread on this classy and nutritious toast.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 113 g fresh morel mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
• 170 g fresh ramps [or pearl onions], cleaned and trimmed
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
• 6 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
• ¼ tsp kosher salt, optional
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• 60 ml dry white wine
• 400 g rustic bread, toasted
• 120 ml Savoury Cashew Cream Cheese
  

Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add morel mushrooms, ramps, garlic, and 4 of the thyme sprigs. Season with salt (if using) and black pepper. Sauté for 6–8 minutes, or until softened and beginning to brown.
2. Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine. Cook, stirring and scraping the pan, until most of the wine has cooked off. Take pan off heat. Discard thyme sprigs.
3. Spread Cashew Cream Cheese on each piece of toasted bread. Top each with a spoonful of the sautéed mushroom mixture. Pick the remaining 2 sprigs of thyme and sprinkle the leaves over the toasts. Serve immediately.
4. Nutrition Note: Vegan cashew cream cheese is a nutritious alternative to dairy, providing healthy fats and plant protein from cashews. Paired with whole grain bread, it offers fibre and B-vitamins, which support gut health. Morels add another boost of plant protein, fibre, and antioxidants, while ramps contribute vitamins A and C, for immune health support. This combination makes for a balanced, nutrient-dense meal.
   

Chef's Note:

• Garnish with lemon zest, pepper flakes, or microgreens if desired. Use any bread for the toast: we love a fresh crusty bread like Sourdough.
