Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Spam
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
- 4 slices Bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 leaves Lettuce (optional)
Instructions
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Cut the Spam into 4 slices, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Place the Spam slices in the skillet and fry them for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel.
Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly. Lay the bread butter-side-down on a cutting board or work surface.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mustard on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread.
If using cheddar cheese, place a slice onto the mustard-spread bread slices. Add the cooked Spam slices on top of the cheese (or directly on the mustard if skipping cheese).
If using lettuce, place a leaf on top of the Spam for added crunch and freshness.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, butter-side-up.
Carefully transfer the sandwiches to the skillet and cook them over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese (if used) is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
