There is nothing more disappointing than when you ask for a "retro" hot sandwich and you are stabbed in the eye with a dry, thin slice of ham and a freshly melted flat cheese. The original Pest pub hot sandwich was much, much more than that!
The basis: Bread and cream
Everything starts with the bread. You don't need thin toasted bread here, but real, thick-sliced baked goods that can handle the topping without getting soggy. At Marx Tér Pub, we know exactly that the density of the base cream is the soul of everything. This should be applied nicely and thickly so that it reaches the edges in abundance.
Cheese - which you can never get enough of!
The biggest mistake that is made in many places is skimping on cheese. The perfect retro hot sandwich is characterized by the fact that the cheese melts hot and bubbly on top of the cream, and when you bite into it, it stretches. You can't save on it. We make it so that you have that rich, cheesy experience from the first bite to the last.
The baking technique
In the oven, on a high setting, so that the edges of the bread are already crispy, but the center is still juicy. When the cheese starts to brown a little on top (those little brown spots!), you should take it out immediately.
Imagine all this in the company of an ice-cold, sparkling pint of beer, in a truly retro environment. This is exactly what Marx Tér Pub's hot sandwich offers. Drop by us at Nyugati and taste the flavor you've been looking for for years!
