Instructions: Grate Spam in a large bowl. Add eggs, oatmeal, and milk; mix well. Lightly spray a regular-size muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Fill each muffin tin two-thirds full with Spam mixture. Using the back of a spoon, lightly press mixture into tins.

In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, and water. Lightly spoon glaze mixture over Spam mixture.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until mixture is set.

Meanwhile, prepare the instant mashed potatoes. Remove cupcakes from oven.

Place oven rack 2-3 inches from heat source and heat broiler. Top each cupcake with potatoes. Return muffin tin to oven. Broil 2-3 minutes or until potatoes are lightly browned. Garnish with fresh chives. Let cupcakes stand for five minutes before removing from pan.

Yield: 12 servings.
