Crispy SPAM-wich Pudgie Pie

SPAM you’ll want to receive! Try slicing this canned camping favorite and using it as a crust!  Here’s how:

Fill one side of your pie iron with buttered white bread, an egg, American cheese, mayo and chopped onions.  Coat the other side of your iron with high heat cooking spray and fill with 3/8″ slices of SPAM.

Close iron and cook over a fire or grill until golden on both sides.  Cook the bread-side first to prevent egg from running under the SPAM in your iron.

It’s a crispy-salty-ooey-gooey treat!
