Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole wheat bread
- 4 tablespoons Low-fat kaya jam
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter (optional, use sparingly)
Instructions
Prepare your steamer by filling it with water and bringing it to a gentle boil.
Take the slices of whole wheat bread and spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat kaya jam evenly on one side of each slice.
Optional: If you’d like a touch of richness, divide the teaspoon of unsalted butter, and spread a very thin layer over the kaya layer on two of the bread slices.
Assemble the bread into pairs with the kaya and optional butter sides facing inwards, creating two sandwiches.
Place the sandwiches on a heatproof plate or steamer-safe dish. To prevent sogginess, you can use a piece of parchment paper as a liner under the sandwiches if desired.
Put the plate into the steamer and cover with a lid. Steam the sandwiches on medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, or until the bread turns soft and slightly warm to the touch.
Carefully remove the sandwiches from the steamer. Cut into halves or quarters for serving if desired.
Serve the steamed kaya butter bread immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.
