Molletes (Mexican Bean and Cheese Sandwiches)

Molletes are an open-faced sandwich topped with refried beans, melted queso Oaxaca, and juicy pico de gallo. Typically served for brunch in Mexico, they can act as an appetizer to get a meal started or be paired with sides to complete a full one. The bread used is traditionally a bolillo roll, but you can easily substitute that for a baguette cut into pieces. Molletes are the perfect comforting dish that represents the beautiful simplicity of Mexican cuisine.

Why You’ll Love It
They’re fun to make and eat. The process of making molletes is simple. Put beans on the stove, make a pico de gallo, shred some cheese, and toast! It’s an interactive dish that is meant to be enjoyed with your hands.
