My thoughts:

I admit it, I like Spam. I like it despite not growing up with it or being Hawaiian or a GI in WWII. Now I am not one of the crazies to eats it fresh from the can with a spoon, but panfry up some spam and I’m in. This frittata was inspired by the bacon rice that we make for late weekend breakfasts (can you eat brunch at home? if you can, this is brunch for us). Instead of serving the Spam and egg on top of rice, I folded everything together into light, fluffy scrambled eggs then popped it in the oven to set. We are more than I’d like to admit the first day it was that good but the leftover were delicious as well re-heated in the oven for a few minutes. Perfect for a multi-day Spam fix. I was a little worried about how the rice would be in a frittata but it was wonderful, it retained its texture and added a lot of body and substance.
