Spam Accordion Delight: Air Fryer Cheese-Stuffed Spam
Easy Air Fryer Spam Accordion Roast with Cheese: Perfect Beer Snack Recommendation
Let’s make a delicious cheese-stuffed Spam roast using an air fryer.
Ingredients- 1 can Spam
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- A pinch of dried parsley flakes (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re about to make a delicious Spam roast with cheese using the air fryer. This accordion-style cut makes it not only look appealing but also incredibly tasty!
Step 2
First, to gently remove some excess grease, blanch the Spam in boiling water for about 1-2 minutes. This step helps to make the Spam taste cleaner and less oily.
Step 3
Immediately after blanching, remove the Spam and thoroughly pat it dry with paper towels or a clean cloth. Ensuring it’s dry is key to achieving a pleasant texture and preventing sogginess during cooking.
Step 4
Now, let’s create the accordion effect. Place wooden chopsticks on either side of the Spam can to act as guides. Carefully make slices about 0.5 cm apart, ensuring you don’t cut all the way through to the bottom, thanks to the chopsticks. This technique allows the Spam to fan out beautifully when cooked.
Step 5
Generously stuff the mozzarella cheese into the cuts you made in the Spam, and also sprinkle some on top. As the cheese melts, it will mingle with the Spam, creating an irresistible flavor.
Step 6
Place the cheese-filled Spam into a preheated air fryer. Cook at 180°C (356°F) for about 10 minutes. Cook until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly, and the Spam is heated through. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model, so keep an eye on it.
Step 7
Voila! Your delicious cheese-stuffed Spam accordion roast is ready. A sprinkle of parsley flakes adds a lovely visual touch. This is the perfect accompaniment to a cold beer – enjoy!
