Molletes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 French baguette
• 1 can refried black beans
• 1 cup cheese, shredded
• 1 pint Metropolitan Market Pico de Gallo (medium or hot)

Directions:

1. Divide bread into 4 equal sections crosswise. Slice each portion lengthwise. Set aside.
2. Slather each cut side with beans and place on a sheet pan facing up. Sprinkle each piece of bread with cheese.
3. Turn your oven broiler on, place pan on top shelf, and cook until cheese is bubbly. Keep a close eye on it — it will take only a couple minutes.
4. Transfer 2 pieces of bread (molletes) to a plate and top with pico de gallo as desired.
