WWII Spam and Egg Sandwich image

My aunt remembers my grandmother making these for the family during World War II when many food items were rationed. Good at any time of day--breakfast, lunch, dinner, or midnight snack!

Time 15m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 slice fully cooked luncheon meat (e.g. Spam)
1 egg, beaten
2 slices bread
1 slice American cheese
1 slice tomato

Steps:

Melt butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onion in butter until soft. Mash up the slice of luncheon meat with a fork, and add it to the skillet. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes, until browned. Pour the egg into the skillet so that it covers all of the meat and onion. Cook until firm, then flip to brown the other side.
Place the egg and meat onto one slice of the bread and top with cheese and tomato if desired. Place the other piece of bread on top. Bread can also be toasted first.

Victory Borscht. One ingredient that wasn’t always available during wartime was oil, which is why borscht became such a popular dinnertime option. You’ll start with a beef or vegetable broth base and then add a ton of fresh veggies – onions, beets, celery, tomatoes, carrots, etc.
Woolton Pie. Woolton pie was popular in Britain in World War II. It’s a bit like vegetable pot pie, only the crust is much different because you’ll make it from mashed potatoes, along with the flour and shortening.
The National Wheatmeal Loaf. The wheatmeal loaf is another World War II recipe, and if you’re looking for a simple way to make bread, you’ll like it, as well.
Spam Fritters. Spam fritters may seem like a super weird thing to make, but they were cheap and contained 15% of a person’s daily needed protein, so they were pretty popular.
Homity Pie. Homity pie may not be familiar, but I’m here to tell you that it’s incredible. And I mean that without any disclaimer. It’s incredible, not “incredible for a wartime recipe.”
