Coconut Jam

Toast

Method

Coconut Jam

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coconut Jam

    In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, pandan leaves, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Cook the Jam

    Once the mixture is heated, lower the heat and add the egg yolks, whisking continuously to prevent curdling. Cook until the mixture thickens to a spreadable consistency, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Strain and Cool

    Remove the pandan leaves and strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a container. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

Egg Cloud

  1. 4

    Whip Egg Whites

    In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.

  2. 5

    Season the Egg Whites

    Gently fold in a pinch of pepper into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate them.

  3. 6

    Bake the Egg Cloud

    Spoon the whipped egg whites onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming small clouds. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes, or until golden.

Toast

  1. 7

    Prepare the Toast

    While the egg clouds are baking, toast the bread slices until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Butter the Toast

    Spread butter on the toasted bread while it is still warm.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Assemble the Kaya Toast

    Spread a generous layer of chilled coconut jam over the buttered toast. Top with the baked egg clouds.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your kaya toast!
