In meantime, slice and cook pepper, onion, zucchini, and garlic in olive oil a few minutes to soften and to start to brown just a little. Brush the crust all over with the garlic olive oil, and then spread with a very thin layer of mustard. Top with the grated cheese. Distribute the cooked vegetable mixture over the cheese, top with mushrooms, tomatoes, salt, pepper and herbs. Sprinkle with the olives.
