Banh Mi Spam

This is the banh mi my mom would make for lunch on Saturday afternoons. It is so simple, yet so fantastically delicious. Just 5 ingredients.

Baguette roll (or a demi-baguette)
Thinly cut Spam (1/8 inch slice) - you need enough to cover the length of your bread, about 3 should do it
Tomato Slices
Cucumber Slices
Black Pepper

1. Slice the baguette as you would to make a sandwich, you know, lengthwise, but not all the way through. Place the baguette into a 350 degree oven or toaster oven to warm through and crisp the crust. Make sure not to over do it.

2. Meanwhile, place the slices of Spam into a cold pan and turn on the heat to medium-high. Brown on both sides. Drain the slices on paper towels if you don't like all the grease.

3. Remove baguette and place Spam slices without overlapping too much (less is more). Stuff with tomato slices and cucumber slices. Make sure to cover the entire length of bread. Sprinkle with Black pepper to taste.

4. And there you have it, Lunch!
