Crispy Panko Crusted Spam

• 1 can spam
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 3 cups panko Japanese style breadcrumbs
• canola oil for shallow pan frying

1. Slice a can of Spam into 8 slices (the slices can be thicker, but thinner slices fry up extra crisp). Beat the egg together with the flour to make a thick batter. Place the panko crumbs into a flat pie plate.
2. Slide the Spam slices into the batter to coat well. Lift the Spam out of the batter leaving as much batter on the meat as possible and gently place in the plate of crumbs. Press the crumbs into the batter on the meat to get a heavy coating on both sides.
3. Heat about an inch of oil in a saute pan with deep sides over medium high heat. Place the breaded Spam into the oil and fry on both sides until deep golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oil, drain on paper towels and serve.
