Hong Kong-Style Spam and Egg Sandwich

Method

1. 1

   Using an offset spatula or butter knife, spread a thin layer of unsalted butter on one side of each piece of lightly toasted bread. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a medium nonstick or cast iron skillet set over medium-high heat, cook Spam until bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using chopsticks, tongs, or an offset spatula, flip and cook until second side is crisped and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and divide slices of Spam between 2 slices of bread and set aside. Using a paper towel, wipe skillet clean.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together half-and-half, potato starch, and salt until well combined. Add eggs and whisk until no traces of whites are visible and eggs are slightly frothy, about 1 minute. Add vegetable oil to the now-empty skillet and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add egg mixture and, using a rubber spatula, fold and swirl the eggs until just set, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

4. 4

   Top each Spam portion with eggs, close sandwiches with remaining bread slices, and serve immediately.
