🍽️ What is a Francesinha?
Originating in the 1960s, the francesinha was created by Daniel da Silva, who brought a twist on the French croquet-monsieur back to Porto. This hearty dish is layered with thick slices of bread, a variety of meats including ham, linguiça, fresh sausage, and steak, and is covered with melted cheese and a savory beer-based sauce. It's typically served with fries and sometimes topped with a fried egg.
