Cheesy Spam Breakfast Lasagna
Ingredients:
– 12 lasagna noodles
– 1 can of Spam, thinly sliced
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 can diced tomatoes, drained
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the thinly sliced Spam to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the spam from the skillet and set aside.
5. In a small bowl, combine the drained diced tomatoes with dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
6. To assemble the breakfast lasagna, spread a thin layer of the tomato mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place a layer of cooked lasagna noodles on top, followed by a layer of spam slices and a sprinkle of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
7. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of lasagna noodles topped with the remaining cheeses.
8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted and bubbly.
9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the cheese to brown slightly.
10. Once done, remove the breakfast lasagna from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
