GRILLED SPAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH

MAKES 5 SANDWICHES

Spam??? Why not? I don't have it often, but I love it sliced thin and grilled for a sandwich, just the way my father used to make it when I was growing up. I always use the Low-Fat version, which also seems to be less salty. If you don't want to use spam, make this with ham..

INGREDIENTS

1 can (12 ounces) low-fat Spam

5 hamburger buns

Softened butter (optional)

4 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 large tomato, thinly sliced

Mustard and/or mayonnaise (optional garnishes)

Slice the spam into 10 pieces about 1/4-inch thick. Heat an outdoor grill or grill pan on high. Grill the spam until nicely browned and slightly crisp on both sides. Set aside. Split the buns and grill the inside until lightly toasted. If desired, spread the bottom halves with a little butter. Place 2 pieces of spam, slightly overlapping on the long side, on a cookie or baking sheet. Do the same with the remaining pieces. Top each with cheese, onion and then tomato. Place under a hot broiler until the cheese is melted. Place each on a bun. Top with mayonnaise or mustard as desired, then the top bun. Enjoy!
