Spread mustard on pocket breads. Cut each pocket bread into 6 triangles; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Cut each cheese slice diagonally into 4 triangles; place 1 cheese triangle on each bread triangle. Arrange mushroom slices over cheese. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat for 2 to 4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve warm.

Mozzarella or Muenster cheese can be used in place of the Swiss cheese. All of these cheeses melt nicely and have mild flavors that go well with mushrooms.
A variety of exotic mushrooms are available in supermarket produce departments. Try cremini, shiitake or chanterelle mushrooms in place of the common white mushrooms.
Use 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, marjoram, chives or parsley, in place of the dried Italian seasoning.
