   and black pepper; cook, stirring occassionally, until mushrooms softened
   and liquid has evaporated, about 5 mins; set aside. Arrange roasted red
   peppers in the bread shell. Cut Swiss cheese to fit into the shell; place
   1/2 of the cheese over the peppers. Top with reserved mushroom mixture,
   remaining cheese and the top of the bread. Place on baking sheet, cover
   loosely with foil tent, bake until cheese melts, about 5 mins.
   Cut into serving pieces, serve with knife and fork.
