Pie of the Times: Spam & Cheese Custard

1 12 oz can of Spam, in half-inch cubes

Half a head of garlic, diced

3 medium-sized shallots, diced

1 medium-sized onion, diced

1/2 cup of heavy cream

3 eggs

1/2 cup diced cheddar

1/2 cup of rice (before cooking) cooked in bone broth

2 pie crusts

Sauté the garlic, shallots, onions, and Spam until the onions are cooked. Beat together the eggs and cream with the salt. Line a pie dish with a crust and spread the rice in a layer over it. Add the sautéed items, toss the cheddar on top, pour the custard over the whole mess, then cap with the other crust and seal and pierce it. About an hour in a 395-degree oven, or until the pie is brown and puffy, will produce something resembling what’s in the above photo I just took. Good times! -Van Smith
