Spam & Eggs AKA the Spamlet

[XaqNautilus]

Recently I spotted Spam on sale for a good price so I picked one up.  The ingredients aren't ideal, but it's a cost-effective option and, at least in my humble opinion, it's always good to have some canned meat in the pantry.

It also allows for a very simple and fast meal.  You can always add to this simple base, but Spam (at least if you like the taste of Spam which I do) does a great job of carrying the dish on its own.  You can substitute your preferred luncheon meat or corned beef if you desire.

Ingredients:
1 340g can Spam
6 eggs
1-2 tbsp fat for frying

Method:
1. Heat a frying pan over medium heat.  Add 1-2 tbsp of ghee or your favorite fat or oil.
2. As the pan heats up uncan the Spam and cut into slices.  Put Spam slices in pan to fry.  Adjust heat if needed, I usually lower my burner to low (3) here.
3. Crack eggs into a bowl, add any additional seasoning you'd like to the eggs and beat.
4. Fry the Spam to your desired doneness and then use a spatula, spoon or a burger meat chopper to break up the Spam into smaller pieces.
5. Add scrambled eggs.  Adjust head if needed, I usually lower mine to 2 here so I can leave it unattended for 5 minutes.
6. Flip and leave whole for a frittata style meal or break up into a scramble.

In this picture I only added a little bit of fresh ground black pepper to the eggs.

With my newly rediscovered love for the taste of Spam I'll probably eat this in some form once per week.

I'd eat the shit out of that.

Yes it’s not ideal but as Dr. Barry says, it’s still better than eating a bunch of carbs. Eat what you can afford to eat. 
I used to love fried spam and eggs.

, yeah I still like it but I still want to avoid those hidden sugars. 
I still love ice cream but I won’t indulge.
