Kaya Toast

Kaya Toast.  A couple of years ago, Chef Susan Feniger was competing on Top Chef Masters. I thought that she was hilarious and enjoyed watching her.  She made a dish called "Kaya Toast" and I've wanted to try it or make it ever since then.

Eggs and egg yolks ready to be cooked into a curd.  

Sugar, coconut milk, and ginger.  

Cooking the mixture of egg and egg yolks on my makeshift double boiler,  I slowly added the sugar and coconut milk mixture to the eggs. 

I let my mom try this and she said it had a medicinal taste to it and was "yuck."  I thought that it was tasty. Maybe it would have had a better flavor if I had used pandan leaves versus ginger root.

Here's the finished coconut jam in toasted sandwiches. 

Here's a picture of the fried egg with soy sauce.  

I thought that the toasted sandwiches with the coconut jam were tasty and liked it even better when it was dunked into the fried egg and soy sauce mixture.  I would eat this dish again, but I felt that it took so much work to make the curd. I think I did something wrong because I cooked the coconut jam too long.
