Molletes de Huevo con Chorizo
Description
Molletes de Huevo con Chorizo uses bolillo rolls sliced and buttered, then broiled to a light golden crisp. The filling features pork chorizo crumbled and cooked until browned, mixed with scrambled eggs, creating a rich and spicy protein base. Spread refried beans on the toasted bread for creamy texture, then top with the chorizo and eggs. Fresh queso fresco adds a mild, crumbly cheese element to balance the dish. The combination is well-layered to deliver contrasting textures and deep savory flavors.
The flavors lean on the pork chorizo’s bold seasoning complemented by the creamy beans and fresh cheese. Broiling the buttered bread gives a crispy foundation that holds the toppings without becoming soggy. This dish serves well for breakfast or casual meals and can be adjusted by swapping cheeses or toppings.
Substitutions can be made by using other crusty breads if bolillos aren’t available or canned refried beans for convenience. Additional toppings like salsa or avocado can customize the taste further. The dish assembles quickly once all components are prepared and is best eaten freshly made to enjoy the crispness of the bread.
Overall, it’s a practical way to use staple Mexican ingredients in a handheld dish balancing textures and flavors in a filling, savory toast preparation.
Ingredients
- 3 bolillos Mexican rolls
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 9 ounces pork chorizo Mexican style
- 2 cups refried beans
- 8 egg
- queso fresco
Instructions
- Slice bolillo rolls in half lengthwise. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on each slice.
- Place rolls, buttered side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and broil, until lightly golden brown and crispy, a minute or two.
- Crumble the chorizo into a cast-iron skillet and cook the chorizo over medium heat for 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl whisk eggs. In a large nonstick skillet add eggs and cooked chorizo; cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until eggs are cooked thoroughly.
- Spread a thin layer of refried beans over the toasted side of each roll. Top with huevos con chorizo and queso fresco.
Notes
- Substitute queso fresco with any available cheese or omit if preferred.
- If bolillo rolls are unavailable, a crusty French bread or roll can be used and sliced accordingly.
- Canned refried beans, including black bean variants, are acceptable shortcuts.
- Customize with preferred salsas or add sliced avocado or guacamole for extra flavor.
