Molletes de Huevo con Chorizo

Molletes de Huevo con Chorizo combine crusty bolillo rolls spread with butter, toasted to a crisp, then layered with refried beans, chorizo-cooked eggs, and crumbled queso fresco. This layering creates a toasted, savory open sandwich with a creamy, spicy filling that highlights Mexican chorizo and eggs. The recipe’s texture contrast between crunchy bread and soft, savory toppings makes it satisfying as a breakfast or snack option.

Ingredients

  • 3 bolillos Mexican rolls
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • 9 ounces pork chorizo Mexican style
  • 2 cups refried beans
  • 8 egg
  • queso fresco

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice bolillo rolls in half lengthwise. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on each slice.
  2. 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.
  3. Crumble the chorizo into a cast-iron skillet and cook the chorizo over medium heat for 10 minutes.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
