Ingredients Needed

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Country Spam and Eggs on kitchen table.
  • Spam: If you do not want to use Spam, you can also use diced cooked ham or leftover Easter Ham.
  • Egg: Use large room-temperature eggs or 6 medium eggs.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Use shredded cheese or diced cheddar cheese slices.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream: You can also use almond milk, coconut milk, or a dairy-free alternative.
  • Butter: Use unsalted butter, otherwise the dish will be very salty.

How To Make Air Fryer Country Spam and Eggs

Spam sliced and air fried until crispy, then chopped into bite-sized pieces.

Step One: Preheat the air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F using the air fryer setting, preheat for 2-3 minutes.

Step Two: Slice your spam into thin rectangular pieces. Set cook time for 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees F, and flip about halfway through the cooking process. Once the spam is fully cooked, chop it into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

Step Three: Reduce the air fryer temperature to 300 degrees F using the air fryer setting. Melt the butter in an air fryer-safe bowl or pan. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy whipping cream together. Pour into the prepared bowl (or pan) in the air fryer. Cook the eggs for 3 minutes at 300 degrees F. After three minutes, stir the eggs. Cook the eggs for two more minutes.

Air Fryer Country Spam and Eggs Recipe Tips

  • Slice the Spam evenly so it crisps up instead of steaming in the air fryer.
  • Flip the Spam halfway through cooking to get that golden, pan-fried look on both sides.
  • Lower the temperature before adding the eggs so they stay soft and fluffy, not dry.
  • Stir the eggs once during cooking for classic scrambled texture without overcooking.
  • Add cheese, green onions, or a dash of hot sauce if you want extra flavor without extra effort.

Storing Instructions

  • Store leftover Spam and eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the air fryer at 300°F for 3–4 minutes or microwave in short bursts until warmed through.
  • Freezing isn’t recommended since eggs tend to get rubbery once thawed.

Air Fryer Country Spam and Eggs Recipe Faqs

Can I use regular eggs instead of heavy cream eggs? Yes! You can use just eggs, but adding a bit of milk or cream gives the scrambled eggs a fluffier texture.

What type of Spam works best for this recipe? Classic or lower-sodium Spam both work well. Choose your preference—classic Spam gives more flavor, while low-sodium is a healthier option.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time? You can prep the Spam in advance, but scrambled eggs are best fresh. Cooked Spam and eggs can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Can I cook this recipe without an air fryer? Absolutely! Pan-fry the Spam until crisp and scramble the eggs on the stovetop for similar results.

How can I make this recipe healthier? Use low-sodium Spam, substitute egg whites or add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrients.

Can this recipe be frozen? Cooked Spam can be frozen, but scrambled eggs don’t freeze well—they can get watery when reheated.

Can I double this recipe for more servings? Yes, just cook the Spam and eggs in batches to ensure even cooking and avoid overcrowding your air fryer basket.
