A salty Spam and savory cheese combination that’s perfect as a side dish or a delightful appetizer! Let’s make a Spam accordion roast using the air fryer for a quick and delicious treat. You can create a special dish with simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 can Spam (340g)
- 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese (approx. 50g)
- A pinch of dried parsley (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to make a special dish using Spam, a favorite for many, with the help of an air fryer. Let’s create a ‘Cheesy Spam Accordion Bake,’ where the salty Spam is perfectly complemented by the bursting flavor of cheese in every bite.
Step 2
First, let’s briefly blanch the Spam in boiling water. This step helps to remove excess grease and impurities, resulting in a cleaner and more savory taste. Once the water comes to a boil, add the Spam, blanch for about 1-2 minutes, and then remove.
Step 3
Thoroughly pat the blanched Spam dry with paper towels. Any remaining moisture can cause sputtering during cooking or affect the taste. Now, place the Spam on a cutting board and make cuts about two-thirds of the way down. Aim for cuts about 0.5cm apart to create a beautiful accordion shape when cooked. This will allow the cheese to melt and fill the gaps beautifully. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 4
Generously stuff the slits of the Spam with the prepared mozzarella cheese. Pack the cheese into every crevice to ensure it melts and oozes out wonderfully when baked, creating a delicious and appealing presentation.
Step 5
Now, preheat your air fryer. Carefully place the cheese-filled Spam into the preheated air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 180°C (350°F) and cook for about 10 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model, so keep an eye on it to ensure the cheese is golden and melted, and the Spam is heated through.
Step 6
Voila! Your delicious golden-brown Spam Accordion Bake is ready. The delightful combination of salty Spam and gooey cheese makes it an excellent side dish for rice or a perfect accompaniment to your favorite beverages. Sprinkle some dried parsley on top for an extra touch of visual appeal. Enjoy your meal!
