Ingredients

• 4 slices Gluten-free bread slices
• 2 large Eggs
• 200 ml Coconut milk
• 100 g Coconut sugar
• 2 leaves Pandan leaves
• 40 g Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them gently.

Step 2

Add the coconut milk and coconut sugar to the eggs, and mix until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 3

Tie the pandan leaves into knots and add them to a saucepan.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Continue cooking the mixture for about 20-25 minutes until it thickens and becomes custard-like, ensuring not to scramble the eggs.

Step 6

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and discard the pandan leaves. Let the kaya jam cool slightly.

Step 7

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 8

Spread butter generously on one side of each slice of gluten-free bread.

Step 9

Place the bread slices buttered-side down in the skillet and toast until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the toasted bread from the skillet. On the non-buttered side of two slices, spread a thick layer of the cooled kaya jam.

Step 11

Top each spread slice with another slice, buttered side facing outward, to form sandwiches.

Step 12

Cut each sandwich diagonally and serve warm, enjoying the sweet, creamy kaya with the crispy bread.
