•Place the caps on a grill over medium-high heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until just tender. Remove from heat.
•Cut the baguette into four equal parts, then cut those parts in half vertically for a total of eight pieces.

Simply brush them with vegetable broth instead. The oil is only for grilling, and mushrooms grill just fine with only broth. Also be careful of pesto sauce. It's not vegan. It contains cheese. However, you can make your own by substituting nutritional yeast for the cheese. :)

Sound delish, but is there a good substitute for the olive oil? I'm supposed to avoid it for gallbladder reasons.
