Molletes

Ingredients

• 2 bolillo bread rolls
• 2 tablespoons salted butter, (room temperature)
• 1 cup refried beans
• 1-2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• ½ cup pico de gallo, (or your favorite Mexican salsa)
• 1 avocado, (diced)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Slice the bolillos in half lengthwise and spread ½ tablespoon of butter on each slice.

3. 3

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the bread in the skillet buttered side down, and toast for 3-5 minutes until lightly golden brown.

4. 4

   Place the toasted bolillo halves on the prepared baking sheet buttered side up and top each half with a layer of ¼ cup refried beans and ¼ - ½ cup shredded cheese.

5. 5

   Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese has melted and is bubbly. Make sure to keep an eye on it during this time as the bread can quickly start to burn.

6. 6

   Top each slice with 2 tablespoons of pico de gallo or fresh salsa and some diced avocado. Serve immediately.
