Ingredients

• 200 grams Spam
• 4 slices Bread
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 slices Cheddar Cheese
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 leaves Lettuce
• 1 small Tomato
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the Spam into 4 even pieces, approximately 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the Spam slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each bread slice.

Step 4

In the same skillet, place two slices of bread, butter-side down. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each. Let the bread toast for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

Step 5

While the bread is toasting, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of the remaining two bread slices.

Step 6

Slice the tomato thinly and lightly season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwiches, layer the fried Spam pieces, lettuce, and seasoned tomato slices on top of the bread slices with melted cheese. Top each with the mayonnaise-coated bread, mayonnaise side down.

Step 8

Press down gently on each sandwich, then return them to the skillet (if needed) for 1-2 minutes per side to heat through and ensure the bread is evenly toasted.

Step 9

Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm. Enjoy!
