Mexican Molletes
Ingredients
  • 4 bolillo rolls, sliced in half lengthwise
  • 3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans, heated
  • 1 (7 ounce) package Borden® Southwestern Cheddar & Monterey Jack Shredded Cheese
  • Mexican salsa or pico de gallo, for serving
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.
2
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring the edges are rimmed to prevent food from spilling over.
3
Cut out a portion of each bread half, making room for additional toppings by creating a cavity in the center.
4
Apply a small amount of butter, roughly equivalent to 1 teaspoon, onto each bread half.
5
Add a layer of refried beans, warmed to a comfortable temperature, on top of the buttered bread.
6
Sprinkle a moderate amount of shredded cheese, comprising 1/4 cup of Borden Cheddar and Monterey Jack, over the refried beans.
7
Place the bread halves on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
8
Bake the molletes in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is crispy.
9
Finish by topping the molletes with a dollop of Mexican salsa or pico de gallo.
