Easy Spam and Egg Breakfast Sandwich with Spicy Mayo

Spam and egg breakfast sandwiches are fast, cheap, and delicious way to start your day.

Spam is an amazing breakfast meat. Legend tells us the name comes from the Ingredients: Shoulder of Pork And Ham. Another legend says the name is a mashup of “spice” and “ham” even though Spam doesn’t have spices in it.

8 billion cans have been sold since Hormel released the product in 1937. GI’s returning from World War II spread a taste for Spam far and wide across the country.

Spam taste great with eggs so it’s a fantastic paring for a breakfast sandwich that will be ready a just a few minutes. The spicy mayo adds a great kick of flavor to round out a wonderful breakfast treat.

How to Make Spam and Egg Breakfast Sandwiches & Spicy Mayo

To make this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Spam – SPAM is made primarily of minced pork shoulder and ham, which gives it a rich, fatty, salty pork flavor. It is a great, and cheap alternative to bacon or breakfast sausage.
Eggs – You can’t have a breakfast sandwich without eggs. They are a perfectly packaged clean protein with just the right amount of healthy fat that won’t break the bank.
Cheese – Use Kraft Deluxe American Cheese. Don’t overthink it, literally nothing melts on a burger better than American cheese. Use it.
Hawaiian Rolls – Spam sandwiches are a classic Hawaiian staple, so why not use a Hawaiian Sweet roll.
Mayo – My husband and I love Duke’s Mayo, which is a southern staple, and one of the very few commercially made mayonnaise not made with mustard seeds.
Asian Hotsauce – Using Sriracha or Gojugang hot sauce will very the amount of heat in your spicy mayo. Sriracha has a brighter, and hotter flavor, while the gojugang hot sauce is earthy and fruity and less spicy.

One you’ve gathered your ingredients, we will use the following method:

Step 1 – Prepare your ingredients. Scramble your eggs. Take the Spam and slice thinly. Combine the mayonnaise and the hot sauce and mix thoroughly to create your spicy mayo.
Step 2 – Start cooking. Bring your griddle to temperature and toast your buns. Cook your SPAM until it is brown and crispy on both sides.
Step 3 – Cook your scrambled eggs. Cook your scrambled eggs on the griddle until nearly done. Cover with the slices of American cheese. Spray a small amount of water around the eggs, and quickly cover with a basting cover or metal bowl to trap the steam and melt the cheese. When the cheese is perfectly melted the eggs are ready
Step 2 – Build your sandwich. Spread a thin layer of spicy mayo on the bottom toasted bun. Add the griddled Spam first, then top the scrambled eggs with cheese. Top with a drizzle more of spicy mayo and the top bun.
