These francesinhas were a complete disaster. The bread was soggy, the cheese was rubbery, and the meat was tough. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of francesinhas, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The flavors were well-balanced and the sandwich was nice and cheesy.

The francesinhas were delicious, but they were a bit too greasy for my taste. I would recommend draining the meat and cheese before assembling the sandwiches.

The francesinhas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less piri piri sauce if you don't like spicy food.

These francesinhas were absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and complex, and the sandwich was perfectly cheesy and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.
