Stir in garlic followed by roasted red peppers, then transfer to a bowl.

In the same skillet, heat 1 tsp oil, add mushroom slices and sauté for 5 minutes.

Stir in lemon juice and cook for another minute or so until all liquid has evaporated.

Toast baguette slices in the preheated oven for 3 minutes at 400 oF (200 oC).

Lay broccoli raab on the bottom of the sandwich, then cover with mushrooms.

Top each sandwich with a slice of cheese.
