Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole wheat bread
- 4 tablespoons Low-fat kaya jam
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter (optional, use sparingly)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare your steamer by filling it with water and bringing it to a gentle boil.
Step 2
Take the slices of whole wheat bread and spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat kaya jam evenly on one side of each slice.
Step 3
Optional: If you’d like a touch of richness, divide the teaspoon of unsalted butter, and spread a very thin layer over the kaya layer on two of the bread slices.
Step 4
Assemble the bread into pairs with the kaya and optional butter sides facing inwards, creating two sandwiches.
Step 5
Place the sandwiches on a heatproof plate or steamer-safe dish. To prevent sogginess, you can use a piece of parchment paper as a liner under the sandwiches if desired.
Step 6
Put the plate into the steamer and cover with a lid. Steam the sandwiches on medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, or until the bread turns soft and slightly warm to the touch.
Step 7
Carefully remove the sandwiches from the steamer. Cut into halves or quarters for serving if desired.
Step 8
Serve the steamed kaya butter bread immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.
