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

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2
Remove some of the bread from the middle of bread halves to accommodate more toppings. Spread about 1 teaspoon butter on each half.

Step 3
Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons warmed refried beans on bread. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup Borden® Cheddar and Monterey Jack shredded cheese on the beans. Place bread halves on prepared baking sheet.

Step 4
Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 5
Top molletes with Mexican salsa or pico de gallo.

Cook’s Notes:

Traditionally molletes are served with Mexican Sauce (Salsa Mexicana) but any salsa would work with them.
