Using a medium-sized bowl, stir in all ingredients with a small whisk or spoon. Set aside.

Using a silicone baking mat or parchment paper, line a sheet tray.

Using a paring knife, remove the inside ribs of the mushroom, rinsing after

Pat the mushrooms dry with a paper towel & place them skin side down onto the lined sheet tray.

Using a pastry brush, brush the bottom of each mushroom with olive oil & sprinkle with sea salt.

Evenly spoon the tomato sauce onto each mushroom, top with vegan cheese, sliced olives & tomatoes.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms are fork-tender and the cheese is golden brown.

Remove from the oven, placing the tray onto any heatproof surface in your kitchen, allowing them to cool for a few minutes. 

Plate the mushrooms onto plates & top with fresh arugula.
