Preheat your broiler.
Spread whole grain Dijon mustard evenly on one side of each slice of rustic French bread.
Sprinkle cheese over each mustard-coated slice, layer with sautéed mushrooms, and top with more cheese.
Place the toasts under the broiler for about 2 minutes, watching closely until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

For additional flavor, you can mix different types of mushrooms or toast the bread slices before assembling the dish. Adjust garlic to your preference. These toasts store well in the refrigerator for up to two days, but the mushroom mix can be frozen for later use.
