- Store-bought or homemade Kaya Jam
For the Dipping (Optional)
- 1 or 2 Eggs half-boiled
- Light soy sauce for seasoning

Instructions
- To make the dipping; Place the half-boiled eggs (with whites that don’t fully set) in a small bowl. Add a drizzle of light soy sauce and a pinch of white pepper to season it. Do not mix.
- To make the toast; Toast two slices of bread until golden brown. (Cut the crust off the bread if you like it that way.) Spread the kaya generously on both sides of the toast while still warm. Top one slice with the butter and then place the other slice of toast on top. (I used only one slice of butter but you can use more butter if you like.)
- Cut the sandwich into half or four equal sizes. The cold butter will melt little by little from the heat of the toast. Serve with or without the seasoned egg dipping.
- To serve your Kaya toast the traditional way; dip it bite by bite into the seasoned egg dipping before eating.
Notes

- Cut the butter into thin or thick slices as you like and return it to the fridge until used.
