Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Brush the bread slices lightly with olive oil and season with salt. Bake in the oven until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Allow to cool. Spread the toasts with Mock Mascarpone Cheese and top with roasted red pepper slices, basil, olive oil and salt.

In a small bowl, cream together the cream cheese, yogurt and vanilla extract with a mixer until well blended. Refrigerate if a firmer texture is desired. Use in recipes as an inexpensive alternative to mascarpone.
