Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Sandwich with Pesto and Goat Cheese

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at NYU chapter.

Encased between a warmed, crunchy baguette with pesto and goat cheese slowly oozing out, a garlicky mushroom and onion menagerie makes the perfect quick lunch or dinner. Since this recipe was adapted from a quesadilla recipe (found here), the leftovers are versatile and can be easily added to almost any wrap, burrito,or sandwich.
