6 ingredients

9 steps

What you need

  • 4 slices white sandwich bread, thin sliced
  • 80 g (1/3 cup) coconut kaya, store-bought coconut egg jam, at room temperature

  • 2 large eggs, for soft-boiling
  • 1 tsp light soy sauce
  • 1 pinch white pepper

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Bring a small pot of water to a boil, lower the eggs in gently and boil for 6 min.

  2. 2

    Move the eggs to a bowl of cold water for 1 min, then crack them into two small bowls.

  3. 3

    Season each bowl with a few drops of soy sauce and a pinch of white pepper.

  4. 4

    Trim the crusts off the bread. Toast the slices until crisp and golden, 2-3 min.

  5. 5

    Spread kaya thickly on two of the toasts.

  6. 6

    Cut the cold butter into thin slices and lay half on each kaya layer. Top with the remaining toast.

  7. 7

    Cut each sandwich into strips or triangles. The butter softens against the hot toast.

  8. 8

    The eggs stay runny, so use pasteurized eggs if serving anyone young, elderly, pregnant or immunocompromised.

  9. 9

    Serve right away with the eggs on the side, dipping the toast into the yolk.
