Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • dark soy sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
  2. Once boiling, remove from heat and gently add the eggs. Cover and set aside for 7 minutes.
  3. Carefully crack each egg into a small bowl, using a spoon to scoop out any remaining egg white. Top with a small splash of dark soy sauce and pinch of ground white pepper.
  4. Toast the slices of bread using a toaster, broiler, or grill until golden brown.
  5. Cut off the crusts and spread a layer of kaya over the top of each slice.
  6. Thinly slice the butter and arrange over the kaya on half of the bread slices. Cover the buttered pieces with the other slices, kaya-side down, to form sandwiches.
  7. Cut each sandwich into two equal pieces to form four small sandwiches in all.
  8. Serve immediately with the half-boiled eggs and coffee.
