This McMuffin-style sandwich is made by cutting sliced bread into rounds, toasting them until golden, and layering them with Spam, cheese, and a fried egg. The moist, savory flavor of the soft-cooked egg pairs with sweet and savory spreads for a meal that is simple yet filling. With a short cooking time of about 10 minutes, it is great for a light lunch or a brunch snack.

Steps
Prepare the ingredients
The ingredients are sliced bread, cheddar cheese, Spam (or sliced ham), lettuce, egg, and jam or mayonnaise.
You can use morning rolls or burger buns instead of bread, and you can also use mustard sauce or ketchup for the condiment.
Slice the ingredients
Trim the crusts off the sliced bread into round shapes, and cut two thin slices of Spam.
It is also delicious if you substitute morning rolls or burger buns for the bread.
Toast and pan-fry the ingredients
Toast both sides in an ungreased pan until golden-brown and crisp.
Add cooking oil to a pan, fry the egg until soft-cooked, and pan-fry the Spam on both sides until nicely browned.
Assemble the sandwich
Spread a moderate amount of jam and mayonnaise onto one side of the bread.
Layer the lettuce, egg, cheese, and Spam securely on top of one slice of bread.
Finish
Top with the remaining bread, and it is done.
It looks quite impressive.
When I cut it in half, the egg yolk turned out a bit runnier than soft-cooked and flowed right out.
Instead, that moist and savory egg flavor fills your mouth and makes it even tastier.
Even though it is just a sandwich, it is satisfyingly tasty and very filling.
It is great as a simple lunch or brunch item, and also wonderful as a quick snack when you feel peckish.
