Ingredients:

• 1 can pineapple slices
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cloves
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 cup crushed corn flakes
• 1/8 cup pineapple juice (reserved from the can)

Instructions:

1. Prepare SPAM: Begin by slicing the SPAM into 6 even pieces, setting them aside for later use.

2. Create Mustard Mixture: In a small bowl, stir together the yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice, cloves, and black pepper until well combined. This mixture forms the flavorful coating for our SPAM.

3. Prepare Coating: In a shallow plate, mix together the crushed corn flakes and brown sugar, creating a deliciously crunchy and sweet coating that will elevate the flavors of the dish.

4. Coat SPAM Slices: Take each slice of SPAM and generously coat it with the prepared mustard mixture. Ensure that each slice is evenly coated with the flavorful blend. Then, dip the coated SPAM slices into the corn flakes and brown sugar mixture, ensuring that both sides are well coated for maximum flavor and texture.

5. Prepare Baking Pan: Lightly oil a shallow baking pan or use cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the coated SPAM slices in the prepared baking pan, arranging them evenly for even cooking.

6. Add Pineapple Topping: Top each piece of SPAM with a pineapple slice, adding a touch of tropical sweetness to every bite. Pour the remaining pineapple juice from the can into the bottom of the baking pan, infusing the dish with even more fruity flavor.

7. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the prepared baking pan with the SPAM slices and pineapple slices into the oven, ensuring they are uncovered. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the pineapple slices and corn flakes begin to brown, creating a tantalizing aroma that will fill your kitchen with warmth and anticipation.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the Dressed-Up SPAM from the oven and serve hot, savoring each bite of the succulent SPAM paired with the caramelized pineapple slices and crunchy coating.
