Ingredients
- 4 Scheiben Toast bread
- 4 EL Kaya jam
- 2 EL Butter
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Prise Salt
- 1 Prise White pepper
- 1 EL Dark soy sauce
- 2 Tassen Water for boiling eggs
- 2 Tassen Ice cubes
Instructions
- Heat enough water in a small saucepan until it comes to a rolling boil. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon. Reduce the heat slightly to maintain a gentle simmer and cook the eggs for 6-7 minutes to achieve soft-boiled consistency.
- While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by combining ice cubes and cold water in a small bowl. Once the eggs have finished cooking, immediately transfer them from the hot water into the ice bath to halt the cooking process.
- Toast the bread slices in a toaster or in a pan over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy. Ensure the toast is evenly browned.
- Generously spread the kaya jam over the warm toast slices. The warmth from the toast will help the jam to spread easily.
- Place thin slices of cold butter on top of the kaya-spread toast. The butter will subtly melt from the residual heat of the toast, adding a rich flavor.
- Gently crack the soft-boiled eggs into a small bowl. Season them with a pinch of salt, a dash of dark soy sauce, and a sprinkle of white pepper. Lightly stir the eggs to combine the seasonings.
- Serve the Kaya Toast immediately alongside the prepared soft-boiled eggs. The combination of sweet toast and savory eggs makes for an ideal authentic breakfast experience.
