Kaya Toast (Singapore)

A quintessential Singaporean breakfast, Kaya Toast is a delicious balance of sweet and savory. The crisp toast is spread with kaya, a rich coconut jam made from eggs, coconut milk, and sugar, then paired with soft-boiled eggs seasoned with soy sauce and pepper. Accompanied by a strong cup of coffee, it’s the perfect start to your morning with a unique flavor that blends creamy sweetness and comforting warmth.

Ingredients (for 2 servings):

• 4 slices white bread
• 4 tbsp kaya (coconut jam)
• 2 tbsp butter (room temperature)
• 2 large eggs
• Soy sauce (to taste)
• White pepper (to taste)
• Coffee (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1. Lightly toast the slices of white bread until golden and crisp. Spread 2 tbsp of kaya on each of 2 slices of toast. Top each with 1 tbsp of butter, spreading it evenly, then cover with the remaining slices of toast to make a sandwich. Cut the sandwiches in half, if desired.
2. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Carefully lower the eggs into the water and cook for 5-6 min. for soft-boiled eggs. Remove the eggs from the pot and crack them into a small bowl.
3. Season the soft-boiled eggs with soy sauce and a pinch of white pepper. Serve alongside the kaya toast, and pair with a hot cup of coffee for an authentic Singaporean breakfast experience.
