Croque monsieur with bechamel: the original and quick recipe!
Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients together, forming a large ball of dough.
Heat a pan with oil: the temperature must not be very high, otherwise the damselfish darken too much outside and remain raw inside.
Take small doses of dough, make some cords and cut small balls (about 2-3 cm). Dip 4-5 damselfish at a time in the hot oil.
Place them on a tray with kitchen paper and, once warm, sprinkle them with powdered sugar. Serve at room temperature.
