Spicy Spam Grilled Cheese With Ramen Buns
This is the grilled cheese rich people don’t want you to know about.
I think at this point i’ve somewhat mastered both ramen and SPAM and the only thing left to do is to master them together. The spicy SPAM grilled cheese is on some god tier shit. Tons of flavor. All the nutrients the body naturally craves. Easy and cheap to make. All you need is a can of SPAM, a packet of ramen, a few slices of cheese, pickled jalapeños, a couple of eggs & some salsa (I bought store bought salsa because ain’t nobody got time to be making salsa in 2024)
The first step to constructing this masterpiece is to cook both the ramen and the SPAM separately. You could cook them together but I don’t fuckin recommend it.
For the Ramen - you’re going to split that noodle brick so you end up with two bricks. Add the ramen seasoning pack to an egg wash mixture and soak the shit out of each of the bricks.
Once your bricks are nice and wet, shake off any excess egg and boil for about 3 minutes.
Once your ramen “buns” are cooked you can set them aside while you cook the spam. Now, if you’ve never eaten SPAM you are really missing out. It’s the fucking Cadillac of the canned meat section.
Slice the SPAM into 1/4” slices. As far as the SPAM itself goes there are a ton of flavors to choose from. I kept it classic because I’m a classy bitch. Pan fry the slices on each side until they look nice and crispy.
For the final step we’re going to put this whole thing together in the same manner as a grilled cheese. If you’ve never made a grilled cheese you got bigger problems to worry about.
Crisp up your ramen bricks on a skillet. I cooked them on the same skillet that I cooked the SPAM on so I get all that delicious greasy flavor mixed in.
IMPORTANT: crisp up both sides of the ramen. If you neglect to do this you are a fucking failure.
Pro tip: If you wan’t to keep that salsa from fucking off all over the place, lock it in under a slice of cheese.
