How to Prepare Tofu Ricotta Crostini [Vegan]

In a medium bowl, break up the tofu with a fork until it is the consistency of ricotta cheese. Add the basil, capers, oregano, nutritional yeast, and salt. Mix well.
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot. Add the garlic and sauté until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the tofu mixture and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, or until hot. Stir in the lemon juice.
