HAWAIIAN SWISS AND SPAM PULL APART BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

HAWAIIAN SPAM® BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Mix grated luncheon meat, pineapple, bread crumbs, milk, egg, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and white pepper together in a bowl. Spoon about 1 teaspoon meat-pineapple mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush the edges of wrapper with water and fold in half diagonally over filling, sealing the edges together. Arrange wontons on the prepared baking sheet; brush each with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

HAWAIIAN SHOYU MUSUBI

Steps:

• Cut the Spam into 6 slices and pat the slices dry with paper towels. Wash and dry the Spam can, then line the inside with a sheet of plastic wrap.
• Whisk together the soy sauce and brown sugar in a small bowl.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Spam slices and cook, flipping once, until evenly brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the soy sauce mixture to the skillet, making sure to scrape in all of the sugar, and quickly flip the Spam slices to coat them. Turn off the heat, leaving the Spam in the skillet to continue absorbing the sauce as it cools.
• Add 3 tablespoons of rice to the Spam can, dipping the tablespoon measure in cold water as needed to prevent the rice from sticking. Use the back of the tablespoon to pack the rice into a level, compact layer. Top the rice with a generous pinch of furikake and a slice of Spam. Add 3 more tablespoons of rice and pack the rice into an even layer. Grasp the plastic wrap to lift the rice-Spam stack out of the can.
• Place a sheet of nori on a clean work surface rough-side up. Transfer the rice-Spam stack to the center of the nori--so its length is perpendicular to the length of the nori. Tightly fold one end of the nori up over the rice-Spam stack. Dab water across the second end of the nori, tightly fold it up over the first end and press to seal the seam. Flip the musubi over so the seam side faces down. Repeat with the remaining rice, furikake, Spam slices and nori, replacing the plastic wrap with a new sheet every time.
• Dampen a sharp knife with cold water and carefully slice each roll crosswise into 4 pieces.
