50g of cashew nuts, soaked in water for 6 hours
12g of nutritional yeast
100ml of oat milk
1 lemon , juiced
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp sea salt

For the crispy topping, combine the breadcrumbs, chopped hazelnuts, thyme, salt and olive oil in a blender or food processor and pulse until combined

1 tbsp of hazelnuts , roasted and chopped
1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil

Pop the stalks out of the centre of each mushroom and spoon in the béchamel, generously filling each mushroom to the top, brushing the top edges and rim of the mushroom with the béchamel. Spoon over the breadcrumb mixture, generously covering the top of the mushroom. At this point the mushrooms can be refrigerated for up to 8 hours, so they're easy to prepare in advance
