Ingredients

4 slices sliced white bread
4 tablespoons kaya (coconut jam)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Step 1

Preheat a non-stick skillet or a panini press over medium heat. Alternatively, you can use a toaster to lightly toast the bread.

Cut the butter into thin slabs, approximately 1 tablespoon per slice of bread.

Step 4

Place two slices of bread, kaya side up, and add butter slabs on top.

Step 5

Cover with the remaining slices of bread, kaya side down, to form sandwiches.

Step 6

Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet or panini press and toast each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before cutting each sandwich into halves or smaller pieces, as preferred.

Step 8

Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
