Molletes

It's Saturday morning and you've just woken up from one of the best nights of sleep you've had in a long time.  You lay in bed without opening your eyes not wanting such a peaceful moment to end.  Knowing that you can't stay in bed forever, you open one eye hoping to ease into reality.  But something is not right.  There is more sunlight shining through your bedroom window than usual.  You open both eyes, and squint at the clock on your wall because your eyes haven't had a chance to focus.  Is it really 9 o'clock?  Ay Dios mio!  It's 9 o'clock in the morning!  I slept in and I have so much to do today!!!

We've all had that kind of morning.

You then head into the kitchen to pour the kiddies a bowl of cereal for breakfast, but realize that they finished it off the day before.  Fear not!  You can whip up a delicious breakfast with just a few leftovers from the fridge.  (Or cans and jars from your pantry.)

That's exactly what I did this morning!  I've only had my new fridge for a few days, but already I have some great leftovers to work with: Refried Beans, salsas and cheese, not to mention the bolillo rolls sitting on the counter.   

Molletes are so quick and easy to put together and really are a delicious breakfast any day of the week.  Toasted bolillo rolls, refried beans and lots of yummy melted cheese...all topped with spicy salsa.  Mmmm-mmmm!  Delicioso!!!
