I first had molletes in Cuernavaca, Mexico. They are a no-fuss delicious breakfast made with fresh bolillo rolls or other fresh bread. Bolillo rolls are 4 for a dollar at Mexican bakeries and groceries throughout L.A., but if you are in a place where you can't find them just substitute french bread. Usually, molletes are topped with pico de gallo, but since tomatoes are not in season I have made a winter version with mushrooms instead. Omit the chile arbol if you don't like your breakfast spicy. Use your favorite canned refried beans or make your own for dinner the night before and use the leftovers for molletes in the morning.
