Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can Spam
- 1 Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 Bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Mustard (optional)
Instructions
Slice the Spam into 1/4-inch thick slices. Set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion into rings or half-moons.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and let it melt over medium heat.
Add the Spam slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and crispy. Remove from heat.
Toast the bread slices in a toaster or skillet until golden brown.
Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each bread slice. If using mustard, spread it on two of the slices as well.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering the cooked Spam slices and caramelized onions between the bread (mayonnaise side facing in).
Cut the sandwiches in half, serve warm, and enjoy!
