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

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Scoop out a bit of the bread from the center of each half to make room for more toppings. Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of butter evenly over each bread half.
Generously spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of warm refried beans onto each bread half. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of Borden® Cheddar and Monterey Jack shredded cheese over the beans. Arrange the prepared bread halves on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and the bread is nicely toasted and crispy.
Finish your molletes by topping them with your favorite Mexican salsa or a fresh pico de gallo.
