Mix together all the sauce ingredients, then set aside in the fridge.
Thinly slice the shallots, then toss in cornflour and plain flour. Preheat the vegetable oil to 180 C, then add the shallots.
Fry until golden and crispy, this should only take a minute, then drain on a paper towel. Finish immediately with flaky salt.
Slice up the spam. Melt a knob of butter, then add the spam slices. Fry on both sides until crispy, then add cheese slices, turn off the heat, and cover.
Remove from the pan, then fry an egg. Toast your brioche buns.
Build your burger, starting with your toasted bun, then a good dollop of your sauce. Add sliced avocado, pickles, and the spam slices. Top with the fried egg and the crispy shallots, then the other half of the bun. Enjoy!
