Legend has it that the sandwich was created when a worker accidentally left a sandwich with cheese, bread, and butter on the stove at home. When he returned home, he discovered that the cheese and butter had melted, turning into a delicious sandwich. Regardless of whether the story is true or not, the croque monsieur, which would translate to crunchy gentleman, is considered the most famous French bistro sandwich, and its preparation is not so complicated that you couldnt make it yourself. In addition to bread, butter, cheese, ham, and mustard, we also need béchamel sauce, which we pour over the prepared sandwich and then bake in the oven for the finishing touch. A simple hot sandwich thus becomes a hearty meal, suitable for lunch or dinner.

Mashed potatoes enriched with crushed garlic and melted cheese are a true French specialty. Once prepared mainly by shepherds, today it is among the very well-known French dishes.
