The makers of the SPAM announced the introduction of SPAM maple flavored, bringing the brand’s family of varieties to 11 flavors, the company said in a release. Makers claim SPAM maple flavored ushers in a unique and mouthwatering addition to breakfast menus, outdoor barbeques and one-of-a-kind desserts.

The makers of the SPAM brand say they created the new maple-flavored variety following an outpouring of fan-developed maple recipes and consumer insights and feedback.

“For 86 years, the SPAM brand has introduced a unique variety of products, aligning our great flavors with consumer trends and feedback,” Lisa Selk, vice president of marketing for the SPAM brand, said in a release. “When recent research showed a resurgence of cooking breakfast at home and an unwavering consumption of maple products, we knew it was time to create SPAM maple flavored. And as a permanent addition to our lineup, we can't wait to see the culinary creations our fans cook up for breakfast and beyond.”

Try out SPAM maple flavored to help kick up almost any recipe, the company says. Here's one recipe you can try at home.

SPAM Maple Flavored Waffle Breakfast Sandwich

Ingredients: 
•    1 (12-ounce) can SPAM maple flavored, cut into eight slices
•    4 fried eggs
•    8 small frozen Belgian waffles, toasted
•    Maple syrup, if desired

Directions:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook slices of SPAM maple flavored for 3 to 5 minutes, or until browned. Assemble sandwiches by dividing eggs among four waffles. Layer each with two SPAM maple-flavored slices and top with remaining waffles. Serve with maple syrup, if desired, and enjoy!

"SPAM maple flavored breakfast burritos are another enticing breakfast option, and the enjoyment of SPAM maple flavored doesn’t have to end with the first meal of the day," the company said. "This fully cooked and shelf-stable product can be used for any occasion at any time, as evidenced by other inspired recipes like SPAM® maple flavored poutine and SPAM maple flavored cowboy beans."
