The Ultimate Spam, Mayo, Mustard, and Tomato Sandwich
This recipe takes the classic fried spam sandwich to a whole new level with a delicious combination of creamy mayo, tangy mustard, and juicy tomato.
*Ingredients:*
* 2 slices of bread (white, wheat, sourdough, or your favorite type)
* 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
* 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard)
* 2 slices Spam, classic or flavored
* 1 large tomato, sliced
* Cooking oil, for frying
* Pinch of salt and pepper (optional)
* Optional extras: Lettuce, sliced cheese, pickle slices
*Instructions:*
1. *Prepare the bread:* Spread mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice. You can choose to spread the mustard on the other side of the bread or directly onto the spam after frying.
2. *Heat the oil:* In a large skillet or pan, heat enough cooking oil over medium heat. You want the oil to be hot enough to sizzle when the spam hits the pan.
3. *Fry the Spam:* Place the Spam slices in the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
4. *Season the Spam (optional):* Once fried, sprinkle the Spam with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste (optional).
5. *Assemble the sandwich:* Place one fried Spam slice on the mayo-coated side of one bread slice.
6. *Mustard magic:* Spread your chosen amount of mustard directly onto the Spam or onto the other mayo-coated bread slice (depending on your preference).
7. *Layer it up:* Add the sliced tomato to the sandwich.
8. *Optional additions:* Feel free to add other toppings at this point, like lettuce, cheese, or pickle slices.
9. *The grand finale:* Top with the other bread slice, mayo side facing inwards.
10. *Press and toast (optional):* You can gently press down on the sandwich to help everything stay together. If you prefer a warmer and slightly toasted bread, place the sandwich back in the pan with a little butter and toast for another minute or two per side, until golden brown.
11. *Slice and enjoy:* Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and enjoy your delicious creation!
*Tips:*
* For a richer flavor, you can toast the bread in the pan with a little butter before adding the mayo.
* If you don't have Dijon mustard, yellow mustard is a perfectly acceptable substitute.
* Get creative with your toppings! This recipe is a great base to experiment with different flavors and textures.
* Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
