Recipe for SPAM® & Cheesy Crumpets

SPAM® is one of my favourite comfort foods, and when I do eat some, I really rather enjoy it.  Cooking transforms it, so fry or grill until it is crispy and full of flavour.  I rather like cubes of crispy fried SPAM®, mixed in with some pasta, flavoured with chilli and sprinkled with grated cheese.  Delicious and a nod back to my childhood and the SPAM® we were served for school lunches – albeit sliced straight from the can.

This year SPAM® appreciation week runs from the 2nd – 8th March, and if you share your love of SPAM®  – with a simple recipe, poem, photo or drawing you can win some great prizes including a breakfast hot balloon experience, breakfast at the top of the iconic Shard skyscraper in London, or breakfast with the big cats.  Entry is easy and will only take a few seconds, pop over to the SPAM® website and fill in a simple form by the 28th of this month.    For every entry SPAM® are donating £1 to The Children’s Hospital in Sheffield so you are supporting a great cause by taking part.

Using crumpets as a “pizza” base is a kitchen trick that I have been using for years, so I am pleased to be able to share this simple recipe for SPAM® and cheese crumpets – perfect for a SPAM®  based breakfast or snack.
