Notes

• dont be afraid to experiment!

It’s a curious combo at first glance. Spam, the pantry stalwart with a cult following, paired with molten cheese wrapped in dough? But somehow, it just works. The salty richness of the Spam plays beautifully against creamy cheese, all cradled in a soft, slightly crisped dough that makes every bite feel indulgent.

What You’ll Need to Get Started

Essential ingredients for the base recipe

To make a solid spam and cheese roll, simplicity is your friend. Here’s your base lineup:

• 1 can of Spam (original or low-sodium)
• 1 cup of shredded mozzarella (or any melt-friendly cheese)
• 1 sheet of puff pastry or 1 batch of homemade dough
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

This base creates a savory, cheesy filling with just the right amount of richness.

Flavor boosters for that gourmet touch

If you want to take your roll from snack to showstopper, add a few upgrades:

• Dijon mustard or spicy mayo spread thin inside
• Sautéed onions or roasted garlic for extra depth
• Chopped chives or green onions for a fresh bite
• A dash of smoked paprika or cracked black pepper for a subtle kick
• A sprinkle of sesame or poppy seeds on top for texture

These small additions can make the whole dish feel restaurant-worthy without the extra fuss.

Crafting the Perfect Roll

Prepping the dough (store-bought or homemade)

Puff pastry is a blessing for home cooks—it’s buttery, flaky, and ready to go right out of the freezer. Just let it thaw for 30–40 minutes before using. If you’re feeling ambitious, homemade dough adds a more rustic charm, especially if you like a slightly chewy roll.

Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. It doesn’t need to be perfect—think cozy, not couture.

Sautéing and seasoning the Spam

Slice the Spam into small cubes or thin strips. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, and toss in the Spam. Let it brown slightly—those crispy edges are golden flavor nuggets.

You can season it here with pepper, paprika, or a splash of soy sauce for umami. Once browned, take it off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Rolling, filling, and sealing the deal

Spread your dough rectangle on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. If you’re using any sauces (mustard, mayo), spread a thin layer over the surface.

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly, leaving about half an inch around the edges. Layer the cooked Spam on top. Starting from one end, roll the dough up tightly like a jelly roll. Pinch the seam and ends closed to lock in all the goodness.

Place the roll seam-side down, and brush the top with beaten egg for that glorious golden finish.

Bake, Serve, Enjoy

Achieving golden, cheesy perfection

Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C). Bake the roll for 15–20 minutes, or until the exterior is puffed and golden and the aroma makes your neighbors jealous.

Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing—it’ll be easier to handle, and the cheese will set slightly for cleaner cuts.

Dips, sides, and creative serving ideas

Spam and cheese rolls are divine solo, but they really sing with the right accompaniments:

• Serve with a honey mustard dip or a smoky aioli
• Add a simple side salad with vinaigrette to balance the richness
• Slice into bite-sized rounds for party platters
• Pair with a fried egg and pickles for a hearty brunch plate

Whether you’re feeding a crowd or indulging solo, the spam and cheese roll is a surefire way to bring a little joy—and a lot of flavor—into your day.
