Mushrooms seasoned generously with garlic make an appealing first course. Serve the hot open-face sandwiches to eat with knives and forks.
The sandwiches can be assembled ahead and placed on the baking sheet, ready to go into the oven. If you like, you may substitute the garlic cloves with 2 teaspoons fresh, chopped herbs, adding more lemon juice.
