Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup raw cashews
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus additional oil for brushing
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon miso (white or yellow)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

Soak the cashews overnight in just enough water to completely cover them. The next day, drain and rinse the cashews, then set aside.
In a medium sauté pan, sauté the onions in the 1 tablespoon of oil until translucent and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Place the soaked cashews, sautéed onions, miso, lemon juice, minced garlic and water into a blender and process until smooth.
Mix in the chopped artichokes, and nutritional yeast, salt and pepper, to taste.
In the meantime, preheat broilier to high.
Brush the baguette slices with a light layer of olive oil and broil for 2-4 minutes, watching closely to not burn.
Top each toasted slice with 1 tbsp of the cheezy artichoke spread then sprinkle with chives.
