Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mexican Molletes Delight.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C) and prepare a rimmed baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Take your bolillo rolls and gently scoop out some of the soft bread from the center of each half, creating a cozy little nest for your toppings.
Step 3
Next, spread a delightful teaspoon of butter on each bolillo half, ensuring every bite is rich and flavorful.
Step 4
Generously layer 2 to 3 tablespoons of warmed refried beans on top of the butter, followed by a hearty sprinkle of about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese that will melt into gooey perfection.
Step 5
Arrange your beautifully prepared bolillo halves on the lined baking sheet, ready for their oven transformation.
Step 6
Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let them bake for 15 to 20 minutes, watching as the cheese becomes irresistibly melted and bubbly, while the bread turns delightfully crispy.
Step 7
Once they’re golden and fragrant, serve your molletes hot, adorned with your favorite Mexican salsa or fresh pico de gallo for that extra burst of flavor.
Step 8
Enjoy this delicious treat that brings a taste of Mexico right to your table!.
