I created this one for my BTG Buddha. He is definitely a guy's guy, and loves swiss, mushrooms, and sports. (BTG = Big Tough Guy) To use the best herbs for this recipe, try Buddha's Herb Mix for Mushrooms

SERVES 12 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 loaf crusty Italian bread, sliced thin and toasted (you can use a crusty French bread or a 6 oz bag of New Yorker Bagel Chips works nice also)
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 shallots, peeled and chopped fine
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red bell peppers, diced small
4 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced small and thin (assorted)
1 tablespoon herbs (suggested Buddha's Herb Mix for Mushrooms)
8 ounces swiss cheese, shredded (use the best quality)

Directions

1
Place parchment paper onto a cookie sheet (or two). Lay out the toasted bread evenly onto the cookie sheet(s). Set aside.
2
In a large skillet cook garlic and shallots in hot oil over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add red peppers, saute 1-2 minutes.
3
Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes or until tender. Stir in assorted herbs.
4
Place a small amount of the mushroom mixture on top of each bread slice. (about 1 tsp each). Sprinkle some chives over the mushrooms. Sprinkle the shredded swiss over top of the chives.
5
Broil on low setting 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.

So yummy! I really enjoyed this for lunch today! I love all the herbs. In place of shallots, I used green onions. Thanks! Made for Photo tag.

We have just finished devouring this as a light dinner (had a heavy lunch) sided with a tossed green salad. For dietary needs I had to omit the capsicum (bell pepper) and sub spring onion (scallion) for the shallots; used slices of toasted bruschetta, italian herb mix (will cut this in half in future though) and slices of swiss cheese (too lazy to grate/shred). Did use closer to 5 cups of sliced mushroom (had the 4 cup measuring jug overflowing a little) but between the DS, DM and myself it fed us and was thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you 2Bleu (Bird&Buddha) for a delicious mushroom recipe. Made for Please Review My Recipe.
