Molletes

Sure, I'd be happy to help!

Molletes are a traditional Mexican dish that consists of a lightly toasted bread roll topped with refried beans, melted cheese, and sliced ham or bacon. It is typically served for breakfast or brunch and is often accompanied by a fried egg or avocado slices.

The name "mollete" comes from the Spanish word for "mill," as the bread rolls were originally made from leftover bread that was ground up in a mill. The dish originated in Mexico City and has since spread to other parts of the country.

To make a mollete, you will need the following ingredients:

  • Mexican bolillo rolls (or substitute with French bread or Italian bread)
  • Refried beans (you can use canned or homemade)
  • Shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or Cheddar work well)
  • Thinly sliced ham or bacon
  • Optional toppings
    fried egg, avocado slices, salsa, and/or sour cream
  • To prepare a mollete, follow these steps:

    1. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

    2. Slice the bread rolls in half lengthwise and place them in the skillet.

    3. Spread a layer of refried beans on each roll.

    4. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beans.

    5. Top with sliced ham or bacon.

    6. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is lightly toasted.

    7. Flip the rolls over and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the other side is also lightly toasted.

    8. Serve hot and top with any desired optional toppings.
