Luncheon Meat Egg Sandwich Recipe
This recipe makes 2 sandwiches. You can multiply the ingredients accordingly to make more sandwiches.
Check out the detailed step-by-step photos on the previous page.
Ingredients:
Version 1: Luncheon Meat Sandwich with Scrambled Eggs
- few drops + 1/2 tsp cooking oil divided
- 2 large slices luncheon meat or spam see cooking note below
- 15g unsalted butter cubed
- 2 large slices tomato
- 4 slices bread spread one side of each slice with butter
- 2 lettuce leaves
- 3 eggs
- freshly cracked black pepper
Variant version with fried egg & cheese
- 2 eggs (instead of 3)
- 2 slices cheese (cheddar)
You also need:
- a non-stick pan and a silicon/wooden spatula
- food-grade cling wrap
Directions:
- Pan fry luncheon meat. Grease non-stick pan with a few drops of oil, and pan fry luncheon meat slices on both sides until lightly browned. Side aside.
- Make scrambled eggs. Don’t wash the pan. If there are any crisp bits, just remove them with a spatula. Grease the pan with 1/2 tsp oil, then add butter and 3 eggs. Whisk the eggs in a non-stick pan and scramble the eggs until just set but still moist, taking them off the heat now and then to avoid overcooking the eggs. Set aside the scrambled eggs.
- Assemble each sandwich in this order: 1 slice of buttered bread, 1 slice of fried luncheon meat (spam), 1 slice of tomato, 1 lettuce leaf, half the scrambled eggs, freshly cracked black pepper and lastly another slice of buttered bread.
- To serve, wrap sandwiches tightly with cling wrap. Then cut each sandwich in half (either to rectangles or triangles).
Variant with fried egg & cheese
- Make fried eggs instead of scrambled eggs. Crack the egg into the pan. For sunny side up, cook until the white is set but yolk still runny. For over-easy egg which I prefer, turn off the stove, flip the egg to the other side and let it rest on the hot pan for about 8 seconds. Set aside the fried eggs.
- When assembling the sandwich, replace the scrambled egg in step 3 above with a fried egg and a slice of cheese.
Cooking Note(s):
- I’m using a round tin of luncheon meat so I cut each slice to large rounds. If using spam (rectangular tin), position the spam block upright for one large slice that can fill up the bread.
- You can also toast the bread if you have a sandwich maker. In that case, you won’t need to cling wrap the sandwich before cutting.
- You can view the scrambled eggs recipe in more detail at my Gordon Ramsay perfect scrambled eggs recipe. I did not use any milk or cream in this instance.
- You can replace butter with mayonnaise or any other bread spread that you like.
