Double Decker Croque Monsieur
Who does not love a good Croque Monsieur, like you would be having at the terrace of a Café in Paris? I sure do.
The recipe from Assia, is my favorite one. It is simply made with a stunning Béchamel sauce. And it is so delicious. I could sincerely eat it at every meal.
Bon Appétit!
