Kaya Toast

My today recipe is a most popular and considered as a breakfast staple in Singapore and Malaysia. Well known as Kaya Toast a coconut egg jam spread on a grilled plain toast. This recipe is created my locals of Singapore and Malaysia to replace the jams to give a local touch with coconut. This Kaya toast is served with local kapi (coffee) for breakfast and also as a snack. This kaya toast is a favorite as snack in street food.
 Kaya is a coconut jam with eggs and top with sugar, I tried to make it with out eggs but my husband says there is a big different with eggs and with out eggs. I didn't get the pandan leaves so I used cardamom powder to give good flavor to the jam, that also make a different flavor may be.. 
Any way he likes the jam on toast...

Store kaya jam in a bottle in the fridge. This jam will stay fresh for a week in the fridge.

Kaya jam color depends on caramel so if you want a lighter color use less sugar.
Make it always like thick jam like consistency other wise your toast will become soggy...
