The mollete is a type of open bread sandwich common to Spanish and Mexican cuisine. The mollete is usually made of a boiled bun split in half, topped with beans, cheese, sausage, and gravy, and baked in the oven until crispy. Some have compared it to the French bread pizza common to American cuisine. This simple and easy-to-prepare dish may have developed as a breakfast food in the Andalusian region of Spain. It can be made with a wide variety of breads, cheeses, and yeasty meats, so it’s generally considered a very adaptable recipe.
While the bollilo bread of Spain and Mexico is traditionally the bread of choice for a clothespin, the sandwich can be made with virtually any yeast bun or loaf. Many people use French bread or baguettes to make this open sandwich. Others use soft rolls or Italian bread.
Regardless of the type of sandwich used, the mollete sandwich is usually prepared in the same way as a pizza. The bun or loaf should be cut in half and divided into manageable sections if necessary. The roll is then usually layered with toppings. Traditional toppings include butter, refried beans, cheese, and chorizo sausage. However, the ingredients can be varied according to taste and needs. This sandwich is often made with leftover fried eggs, bacon slices, or bite-sized pieces.
Once the desired toppings have been added to the mollete bun, it should be covered in a layer of grated cheese. Any variety of cheese can be used, although cheeses such as Monterey Jack or queso blanco are often recommended. The open-faced sandwich should generally be baked in a preheated oven at about 350 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (176.6 to 204.4 degrees Celsius). The cooking time can vary from five to ten minutes. The muffin should usually be cooked until the top layer of cheese has melted and started to bubble, and the edges of the bun have turned lightly browned.
While considered a filling and easy-to-make breakfast food, the muffin sandwich can also be high in calories from fat and saturated fat. The typical muffin can contain up to 250 calories, 90 of which can come from fat. The typical muffin sandwich can contain up to 10 grams of fat, and as many as six of that can come from saturated fat.
