Starting off your morning with a tried-and-true classic is something everyone can get behind. Remember to turn that dial just below medium-high and let your oil cook while we get busy on the cutting board! Show off your skills with some thin slices of SPAM and slowly place them in the oil, careful not to have it splash back toward you!
Once you hear the oil frying, remember to flip them about every 2 minutes. This will make sure they get fried evenly and you don’t end up with any burn marks in the trash. While you wait, send your bread straight to the toaster, and once your Spam is one flip from ready, crack some eggs into the pan! While eggs are a personal touch, letting the yolks stay runny for a rich finish pulls everything together and even gives something to dip the toast into at the end! After your eggs are done to your liking, breakfast ASSEMBLE your plate like the hero you are and enjoy a timeless favourite.

Favorite this Canadian Staple
Spam is a canned protein that’s been “forwarded” into kitchens around the world since 1937 (Mine since 1999) .Made from pork shoulder and ham, it’s a compact, versatile protein that’s CC'ed into any meal. While some might mistake it for junk food, Spam’s savory flavor makes it the star of many dishes. It’s quick to “send” into a pan and even easier to “reply” to with toast, eggs, or just by itself. So, if you're looking to “filter” out complicated meals, Spam is the perfect go-to—delivering hearty satisfaction with every bite, no spam folder required!
