1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 to 2 cloves garlic, pressed

SO HOW'D IT GO?
This just inspired me to make a Mexican pizza :) Thanks!!!
This was very tasty! As my first experience making nut cheez, I'm not sure what to compare it to... but I liked it, and will undoubtedly make it again. Had to use 1/2 almonds & 1/2 Brazil nuts (that's what I had on hand), & it turned out very yummy, though I'll try it again with cashews just to be thorough. ;)
I also added a little cumin, on general principal... I used 4 Tbsp. of oil & it still needed a good bit of thinning in order to blend well (I used soymilk instead of water), but that may be because I wasn't using cashews. We've been eating it mainly as dip, with crackers-- delish! Thanks for the recipe!
