Fried Spam and eggs is a simple, comforting dish that blends the savory flavor of crispy Spam with the creamy richness of eggs. It’s a quick and satisfying meal perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a lazy dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 can Spam (Classic, Low-Sodium, or your preferred variety)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter or cooking oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: Green onions or parsley for garnish
- Instructions
- Prepare the Spam:
- Slice the Spam into ¼-inch thick pieces. You can cut them into rectangles, squares, or smaller bite-sized cubes based on your preference.
- Cook the Spam:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the Spam slices and fry for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Cook the Eggs:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add butter or a splash of oil.
- Crack the eggs directly into the skillet or whisk them in a bowl for scrambled eggs.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook the eggs to your desired doneness:
- Fried eggs: Cook until the whites are set and the yolks remain runny, or flip for over-easy eggs.
- Scrambled eggs: Stir gently with a spatula until they are soft and creamy.
- Serve:
- Arrange the fried Spam and eggs on a plate. Sprinkle with green onions or parsley if desired.
- Pair with toast, rice, or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
- Tips:
- For added flavor, try frying the Spam in a drizzle of soy sauce or a sprinkle of sugar for a caramelized glaze.
- Add cheese to the eggs while scrambling for extra richness.
