Step 1: Fry the Spam
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the Spam slices and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Eggs
- Crack the eggs into the same skillet.
- Scramble them gently until just set, seasoning with black pepper and a pinch of garlic powder if desired.
Step 3: Toast the Bread
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Toast the bread in the skillet until golden and crisp on both sides.
Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich
- Spread mayonnaise and mustard on the toasted bread, if using.
- Layer the fried Spam on two slices of bread.
- Top with the scrambled eggs.
- Add a slice of cheese while everything is still hot so it melts slightly.
- Cover with the remaining slices of toasted bread.
Step 5: Serve
- Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
Optional Add-Ins
- Tomato slices
- Lettuce
- Pickles
- Sliced avocado
- Hot sauce
- Caramelized onions
Tips
- For extra crispy Spam, lightly score the edges before frying to prevent curling.
- Toasting the bread in the same skillet adds extra flavor from the browned butter and Spam.
- Pair with potato wedges, hash browns, or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
