Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole wheat sandwich bread
- 4 tablespoons Sugar-free kaya (coconut jam)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Salt (optional, for seasoning)
- 500 milliliters Water (for steaming)
Instructions
Prepare the steaming setup by adding 500 milliliters of water to a steamer pot or saucepan. Heat the water on medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Place a steaming rack inside the steamer or saucepan to hold the plate of assembled bread.
Take 4 slices of whole wheat sandwich bread and spread 1 tablespoon of sugar-free kaya (coconut jam) evenly on one side of each slice.
Place 1/2 tablespoon of unsalted butter on top of the kaya spread on 2 of the slices. If desired, add a small pinch of salt for a hint of savory balance.
Stack a slice of bread without butter on top of each buttered slice, creating two kaya butter sandwiches.
Transfer the sandwiches to a heatproof plate that fits inside the steaming pot. Cover the plate loosely with foil to prevent condensation from dripping onto the bread.
Place the plate on the steaming rack and cover the pot with a lid. Steam the sandwiches for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is warm and soft, the butter has slightly melted, and the aromas of kaya are released.
Carefully remove the plate using oven mitts or tongs. Allow the sandwiches to cool slightly before slicing in half, if desired.
Serve the steamed kaya butter bread warm as a comforting sugar-free treat.
