Ingredients
- 12 oz Spam (original or low-sodium)
- 8 slices Bread (sandwich slices, white or whole wheat)
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tsp Mustard (optional)
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 2 tbsp Butter
Directions
Step 1
Slice the Spam into 8 even slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and allow it to melt.
Step 4
Place the Spam slices in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Step 5
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and wash the lettuce leaves. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 6
Lay out the bread slices in pairs. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each slice of bread. If desired, spread 1/4 teaspoon of mustard on half of the slices for extra flavor.
Step 7
Layer one slice of cheddar cheese on top of four of the bread slices, followed by 2 slices of cooked Spam.
Step 8
Top the Spam with a lettuce leaf and a slice or two of tomato. Finish with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
Step 9
Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt.
Step 10
Place each sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 11
Remove from the skillet and let the sandwiches rest for 1-2 minutes. Cut each sandwich in half, if desired, and serve warm.
