Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices White bread
- 50 grams Butter
- 4 tablespoons Kaya (coconut jam)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
Instructions
Begin by setting your oven or stove-top grill to medium heat.
Spread a generous amount of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Place the buttered sides down on the grill or in a pan, and toast the bread until golden brown.
Once toasted, remove the slices from heat and allow them to cool slightly.
Spread one tablespoon of kaya on the unbuttered side of two of the bread slices.
Top each of these slices with another slice of bread, creating a sandwich with the kaya in the middle.
To accompany the toast, soft-boil the eggs: bring a saucepan of water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Carefully add the eggs to the water and let them cook for about 7 minutes.
Remove the eggs and place them in cold water to halt the cooking process.
Peel the eggs and gently place them in serving cups or small bowls.
Sprinkle the soy sauce and white pepper over the soft-boiled eggs.
Serve the kaya toast while warm, accompanied by the seasoned soft-boiled eggs.
