8ouncescremini mushrooms, sliced and barely chopped, about 10

Instructions
To make the bruschetta:
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet and sauté the onion and red bell pepper for 10 minutes.
Add the cremini mushrooms and sauté 10 to 15 minutes more.
The mushrooms will shrink and add moisture to the mixture.
Season with the salt and pepper. Set aside.
To make Crostini
Slice a long baguette loaf (or use pre-sliced)
Lightly brush oil on each slice and place on a cookie sheet.
Fill up the cookie sheet in a single layer.
Set oven to broil and toast on the top shelf under the broiler. Do not walk away - watch the toast closely.
Remove from the oven as soon as the toasts turn a golden brown.
Spoon bruschetta onto the toasted bread slices and serve.
I used pinches of fresh parsley to garnish the tops.
