Note

For extra crispy SPAM, you can pan-fry the slices separately before assembling the sandwiches.

If you prefer a spicier kick, add a few slices of jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce along with the mustard.

Use day-old Italian bread for better texture and to prevent sogginess.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
