30 minThese aren’t your average cold sandwiches.
Hollow out crusty rolls, pack them with cubed SPAM, Monterey Jack, and a rainbow of veggies, then wrap them tight and bake until the cheese melts into every crevice.
The foil wrap steams everything together while keeping the outside crusty.
Kitchen Tips
- Press the filling firmly into the hollowed buns so they don’t fall apart when eating
- Whole wheat buns add extra fiber and nutty flavor
- Don’t skimp on the foil wrap; it’s what creates that steamy, melty interior
- Make ahead and refrigerate wrapped sandwiches; bake straight from the fridge (add 5 minutes)
- Perfect for lunch boxes; wrap in foil to keep warm for hours
Variations
- Swap SPAM for diced ham, turkey, or cooked chicken
- Use cheddar or pepper jack for different cheese flavors
- Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick
