I'm not sure what all the hype is about. I made these francesinhas and they were just okay. The sauce was bland and the cheese was rubbery. I wouldn't make them again.

These francesinhas are the perfect comfort food! They're cheesy, saucy, and so delicious. I love to make them on a cold winter day.

I was really excited to try this recipe but I was a little disappointed. The sauce was too spicy for my taste and the cheese was a bit too greasy. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a milder sauce and a different type of cheese.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but these francesinhas were surprisingly mild. The flavors were well-balanced and the cheese helped to tone down the heat. I would definitely make these again.

I followed the recipe exactly and my francesinhas turned out perfect! The only thing I would change is to add a little more cheese. I love cheese, so I can never have too much.
