Homemade Kaya Jam with Soft Boiled Eggs & Toast Recipe
This kaya toast recipe highlights one of the most delightful and distinctive snacks I’ve encountered in Southeast Asia.
Ingredients
- Thick white bread slices – 2
- Eggs – 1 per person
- Soy sauce
- Salt
- White pepper
- Coconut cream – 1/2 cup
- Coconut milk – 1 cup
- Caster sugar – 250g
- Pandan leaves – 3 tied in a knot
- Cornstarch – 1 tbsp
- Water – 1 tbsp
- Butter – 10g
Instructions
- Take a large mixing bowl and crack all 4 eggs into it followed by 200g of the sugar, the coconut cream and the coconut milk. Whisk until all the ingredients are mixed well. If your mixture is slightly lumpy, put it through a sieve.
- Put a pot on to a low heat and add the mixture to simmer. Place in your pandan leaves and stir in.
- Cook for 20 minutes, stirring throughout.
- Next mix your cornstarch and water together and then add to the mixture, this will thicken the jam to a nice consistency.
- Now make your caramel by adding the remaining 50g of sugar to a separate pan and heating until the sugar melts. Add in your butter to melt and stir well. You will know when it is ready as it will start to become brown in colour.
- Add the caramel to your other pot and stir in well, leaving to cook for a further couple of minutes.
- Take your kaya jam off the heat and leave to cool.
- Now start preparing the rest of the dish. Bring a pot of water to boiling point and turn down to simmer, then gently place in 1 egg per person.
- Whilst the eggs are boiling, lightly toast 2 pieces of bread per person.
- Spread the kaya jam generously onto the pieces of toast and place them together like a sandwich before slicing vertically down the middle.
- After 5 minutes the eggs should be done. Take them out of the pan and crack them into a bowl.
- To the eggs, add a splash of soy sauce, some salt and pepper, and stir.
- Dip the Kaya toast into the eggs and enjoy!
