Hawaiian Spam® Bites

When challenged to develop a recipe using Spam® as a main ingredient for a campout, this is what I came up with. Tasty bite-size pillows filled with Spam® and pineapple are served with sweet chili sauce for dipping. These are super easy to prepare, but do take a bit of time to fill and shape the pillows.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup milk
• 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• water as needed
• ¼ cup dry bread crumbs
• ground white pepper to taste
• cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
• 60 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers
• 1 (12 ounce) can fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM®), grated
• 1 teaspoon smoky, sweet red pepper flakes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 3

Mix grated luncheon meat, pineapple, bread crumbs, milk, egg, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and white pepper together in a bowl. Spoon about 1 teaspoon meat-pineapple mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush the edges of wrapper with water and fold in half diagonally over filling, sealing the edges together. Arrange wontons on the prepared baking sheet; brush each with olive oil.
