Mexican Style Breakfast Sandwich Recipes

TRADITIONAL MEXICAN MOLLETES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Remove some of the bread from the middle of bread halves to accommodate more toppings. Spread about 1 teaspoon butter on each half.
• Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons warmed refried beans on bread. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup Borden® Cheddar and Monterey Jack shredded cheese on the beans. Place bread halves on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Top molletes with Mexican salsa or pico de gallo.

BREAKFAST TORTAS

Steps:

• Cut the top third off each roll; hollow out bottom, leaving a 1/2-in. shell (discard removed bread or save for another use). Place roll bottoms on an ungreased baking sheet., In a small bowl, combine the beans, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, chipotle pepper sauce and salt. Spread 1/4 cup inside each roll. Break an egg into each roll. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes., Sprinkle cheese over eggs. Brush roll tops with olive oil; place on the baking sheet. Bake until egg whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not firm, 5-8 minutes longer. Top each with bacon, avocado, salsa and onions. Replace roll tops.

MEXICAN-STYLE BREAKFAST SANDWICH

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water and vinegar to a simmer (vinegar helps the eggs to set). Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, use a fork to coarsely mash the beans with lime juice, cumin and salt. Stir in half the coriander. In a small bowl, stir peanut butter with mayonnaise and adobo peppers.
• Crack one egg into a small ramekin or bowl. Slide egg into simmering water. Repeat with the second egg. Simmer for 3 minutes. While eggs are cooking, split and toast English muffins. Remove eggs, one at a time, using a slotted spoon. Pat dry with paper towel and set on a plate.
• Spread both sides of English muffins with peanut butter mixture. Top base with bacon if using, then tomato slices, dollops of black bean mash, egg and coriander. Finish with tops of English muffins to form 2 sandwiches.
• Tip: Swap out the poached egg for a fried or scrambled egg, if preferred.
