1	clove	garlic (minced)
2	tablespoon	butter

Instructions

Remove stems from mushrooms and set aside. Use sharp knife to slash mushroom caps and put in a bowl with oil, lemon juice and garlic for 30 minutes. Meanwhile melt butter and sauté green pepper, shallots, and herbs. Chop mushroom stems very fine, mix with ham, and stir into green pepper mixture, cooking over very low heat for about 10 minutes; add marinade from mushroom caps. Broil caps for 3 minutes on each side. Put on toast points and spoon stuffing over.

Notes

To make toast points, simply toast square pieces of bread (of whatever type you desire) and cut into triangles. A typical toast point also has its crust cut off.
