About Mollete

Mollete is a traditional Mexican open-faced sandwich made using bolillo bread as its base. It is typically topped with refried beans, melted cheese, and salsa, with variations including additions like avocado, chorizo, or jalapeños. Originating from Mexican cuisine, molletes are a popular breakfast or snack option due to their simple preparation and satisfying flavor. The dish provides a source of protein from the beans and cheese, as well as carbohydrates from the bread, making it a filling meal. However, molletes can be high in sodium and fat, depending on ingredients like processed cheese or cured meats. By incorporating fresh toppings such as tomatoes, onions, and avocado, molletes can be made more nutrient-dense while keeping their signature taste. Suitable for vegetarians, they are a versatile dish enjoyed across Mexico and increasingly appreciated worldwide.
