Description
A savory and sweet twist on the classic breakfast combo, this caramelized Spam and eggs recipe features crispy, golden-brown slices of Spam glazed with a brown sugar sauce, paired perfectly with soft scrambled or fried eggs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can Spam, sliced (about 12 oz)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk (optional, for scrambled eggs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the Spam into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add Spam slices and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the Spam and drizzle with soy sauce. Let it cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sugar caramelizes and forms a glaze. Flip once to coat both sides.

- Top with chopped scallions or a drizzle of sriracha for added flavor.
