½ cup white sugar

Categories     Appetizers

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 oz spam, cut into ¼-inch (6 mm) cubes
1 stick unsalted butter
¼ cup red onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup fresh chives, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 Sweet Hawaiian Round Bread, 16 ounce (480 grams)
4 oz swiss cheese, cut into 1/2 (1.24 cm) strips
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and grease with nonstick spray.
  • Add the Spam to a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes, without disturbing, until the Spam cubes are golden brown on the bottom. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until most of the Spam is golden brown. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Melt the butter to the same skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion, garlic, chives, and salt and stir to combine, then remove the pan from the heat.
  • Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the bread about halfway through into 1-inch (2.54 cm) slices, stopping ½ inch (1.24 cm) from the bottom of the loaf to keep intact. Turn the loaf 90° and repeat cutting in the opposite direction.
  • Stuff the Swiss cheese and Spam between the bread slices. Transfer the loaf to the prepared baking sheet and pour the onion and garlic butter evenly over the top.
  • Grease another sheet of foil with nonstick spray, then cover the loaf. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown on top.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Serve hot.
  • Enjoy!

When challenged to develop a recipe using Spam® as a main ingredient for a campout, this is what I came up with. Tasty bite-size pillows filled with Spam® and pineapple are served with sweet chili sauce for dipping. These are super easy to prepare, but do take a bit of time to fill and shape the pillows.
