Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sliced white bread
- 4 tablespoons kaya (coconut jam)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or a panini press over medium heat. Alternatively, you can use a toaster to lightly toast the bread.
Spread 1 tablespoon of kaya evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
Cut the butter into thin slabs, approximately 1 tablespoon per slice of bread.
Place two slices of bread, kaya side up, and add butter slabs on top.
Cover with the remaining slices of bread, kaya side down, to form sandwiches.
Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet or panini press and toast each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before cutting each sandwich into halves or smaller pieces, as preferred.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
