Ingredients

2 slices Gluten-free bread
2 tablespoons Kaya (coconut jam)
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat or set a toaster oven to medium-high heat.

Step 2

If using a skillet, lightly butter one side of each gluten-free bread slice. If using a toaster oven, you may omit this step.

Step 3

Toast the gluten-free bread slices in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Alternatively, toast them in the toaster oven for 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

While the toast is still hot, spread 1 tablespoon of kaya evenly over one side of each slice of bread.

Step 5

Place a dollop of unsalted butter on one toast slice, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat.

Step 6

Stack the slices together, kaya side inwards, or serve them open-faced for a delightful breakfast treat.

Step 7

Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.
