Dropdown list showing the latest 10 posts

Hey, I got a problem. I want to have the 10 latest posts in a dropdown list without any buttons. I have been looking and searching for a solution but can’t seem to find one. It sounds pretty simple, but I cant get my thick head around it 🙁

All I found that might been helpful is get_recent_posts() but it aint that much documentation of it. Anyone have an idea?
