a versatile stuffed baguette sandwich with pesto, sauteed mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, pepperoncini, kalamata olives.
In a wide pan, sautee the sliced portabella mushrooms. Once they start to brown, add in the shallots and garlic and cook for a few minutes, until the shallots turn transluscent. Season with salt and pepper and add a splash of balsamic vinegar.
Cut the baguette in half. You should have a top and bottom slice. Brush both slices with some extra virgin olive oil.
Take the bottom slice of bread and spread over the pesto. Now add the sliced tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, sliced onions, kalamata olives, pepperoncini, and shredded mozarella.
Bake at 375 F or until the cheese has melted. Top with some chopped basil. Now add the top slice of bread (feel free to lightly toast this slice) and slice into sandwich pieces.
