Guess what time it is — #CityCookingChallenge!

We traveled all the way to France (just kidding). Today we made a delicious Croque Monsieur with our Hunger Action Day haul.

Do you know how to make a béchamel sauce? If the answer is no, you are about to learn how!

This dish was inspired by this recipe. Make your own and share it on social with @sdcitytimes.
