Instructions

- Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems, and brush both sides with a small amount of olive oil, placing them on the baking sheet
- Sprinkle the basil, oregano and thyme seasonings over the top, and bake for 5-8 minutes.
- While they are pre-cooking, prepare the cheeze topping: place the nuts, nutritional yeast, and salt in a food processor and pulse until it turns into a parmesan-like consistency.
