BEAN, EGG AND CHEESE MOLLETES
Molletes are open-faced Mexican breakfast sandwiches, traditionally made with refried beans and cheese and broiled until bubbly. We bulked them up with slices of juicy tomato (think Kentucky hot brown) and eggs. As an alternative to the lard usually used for refried beans, crisp bacon bits top the sandwiches.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Toast the bread under the broiler cut-side up until brown around the edges, about 2 minutes. Put the pepper jack in a medium bowl and the refried beans in another medium bowl.
- Cook the bacon in a medium cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring once or twice, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Use a slotted spoon to scoop the bacon into the pepper jack, then use a fork to toss them together. Stir 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings into the refried beans and mix well to combine. Scrape any remaining drippings into a small bowl. Do not wipe out the pan.
- Put the rolls cut-side up on a baking sheet. Divide the beans equally among the rolls, spreading them to the edges. Shingle slices of tomato on top and sprinkle lightly with salt. Drizzle a little bit of the reserved bacon fat, if you have some, over the top.
- Add the butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat. Beat the eggs again until frothy. Add them to the skillet and cook, using a rubber spatula to pull in the edges as they set and tilting the pan so uncooked egg runs underneath. (You might have to scrape a little of the egg to the sides of the pan as it cooks.) Do this until most of the egg is set, but some uncooked, gooey egg is still sitting on top, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Use a metal spatula to cut the egg up and put pieces on top of the tomatoes. Top the egg with the pepper jack and bacon mixture.
- Broil the molletes until the pepper jack is bubbly and brown, turning the baking sheet as necessary to prevent burning, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the scallions and cilantro. Serve with salsa and hot sauce, if using.

- If you want to make the bean puree, start by roughly chopping 1/2 an onion and peel 2 garlic cloves. Saute the onion and garlic in a dollop of oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Drain and rinse one can of black beans. Add the black beans to the onion mixture along with 2 chipotles in adobo, 1 Tablespoon adobo sauce, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, freshly ground pepper, and 1/2 cup water (or stock). Simmer for a few minutes until heated through. Combine the bean mixture in a blender or food processor. Salt to taste.
- If making fresh Pico de Gallo, start by giving the veggies a good rinse. Chop up 2 tomatoes, 1/2 onion, 1/2 jalapeno, and 15-20 sprigs cilantro. Add to a mixing bowl along with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the juice of 1/2 lime. Combine well and take a taste for seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if necessary.
- Cut the bread rolls in half and bake them in a 400F oven for a few minutes before adding any toppings; this will help crisp them up. You can optionally add a layer of butter to each roll.
- Top each roll with a layer of beans and shredded cheese. Bake for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is thoroughly melted.
