Kaya Toast

Ingredients

  • 4 pcs White Bread
  • 4 tbsp Kaya
  • 40 g Butter
  • 2 pcs Eggs
  • 2 tsp Dark Soy Sauce
  • 0.25 tsp White Pepper
  • 1 l Water

Method

  1. Bring {water} to a gentle boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Lower in {eggs} and cook until the whites are softly set and the yolks stay jammy, then lift out and hold warm for serving.
  2. Toast {white_bread} in a toaster or in a dry skillet over medium heat until deeply golden and crisp at the edges so it stays crunchy under the spread.
  3. Spread {kaya} generously over the hot {white_bread}, then sandwich with thick slices of cold {butter} so the filling turns glossy while the toast stays crisp.
  4. Crack the warm {eggs} into small bowls and season with {dark_soy_sauce} and {white_pepper}. Stir lightly so the yolks marble through the whites.
  5. Cut the filled {white_bread} into halves and serve at once with the seasoned {eggs} for the classic sweet salty Singapore coffee shop finish.
