Spam Pie
Spam Pie
This is a twist on a good friend's recipe. This is my creation that uses homemade Spam. You can certainly use canned Spam or even ham. Links to the Shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Equipment
- Pie Dish (9 inch)
- Oven
Ingredients
- 500 grams Spam, cubed, (1 lb if homemade or two 198 g/ 7 oz cans if using store bought), Shortcut
- 1 bell pepper, your choice of color, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 3-4 spring onions, sliced, white and green parts
- 10 eggs
- ½ cup sour cream, Shortcut
- pasta sauce, as desired, Shortcut
- Mozzarella Cheese, shredded, as desired
- Italian seasoning, as desired, Shortcut
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F). Lightly grease a 9 inch pie dish with butter.
- Cube the Spam. I am using homemade Spam.
- Prep the onion, bell pepper, and spring onions. I was out of spring onion so just skipped that.
- In a mixing bowl add the eggs and whisk to mix. Stir in the Spam and veggies.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Spoon the sour cream on top, and use butter knife or chopsticks to swirl the sour cream through the egg mixture.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the center is set (when a toothpick comes out clean), remove from the oven.
- Spread the top with pasta sauce as desired, top that with Mozzarella cheese as desired, and sprinkle on some Italian seasoning.
- Place back in the oven until the cheese is melted. Remove from oven and let this rest for about 5 minutes.
- Slice, plate, add another light sprinkling of Italian seasoning as desired. Serve with your choice of toast, biscuits, crescent rolls, or rice. Enjoy.
Notes
Low cost per serving if using homemade Spam, Fair to High cost per serving if using canned Spam.
Shortcuts: Spam, Spam, Spam, Sour Cream, Pizza Sauce, Italian Seasoning.
Variants: 1. Replace the marinara sauce with salsa and replace the Mozzarella cheese with Cheddar cheese and sprinkle with oregano or even taco seasoning - there, you have a Mexican variant, like a Breakfast Burrito without the tortilla. 2. Use plain tomato sauce, oregano, and Cheddar cheese. 3. Use cubed ham in place of Spam.
