This Singaporean adaptation of the American breakfast sandwich replaces the traditional fillings with ingredients commonly found in Singaporean cuisine. The original sandwich typically includes ham or sausage, while the Singaporean version incorporates crispy bacon for a smoky and savory flavor. Additionally, the use of kaya, a coconut jam, adds a unique sweetness to the sandwich, replacing the usual condiments like ketchup or mayonnaise.

Treat your ingredients with care...
- Bacon — For a healthier alternative, you can use turkey bacon or smoked salmon instead of regular bacon.
- Kaya — If you can't find kaya, you can make your own by combining coconut milk, eggs, sugar, and pandan leaves. Simmer the mixture until thickened and fragrant, then strain and cool before using.
- Soft-boiled eggs — To achieve the perfect soft-boiled eggs, bring a pot of water to a boil, gently lower the eggs into the boiling water, and cook for 6 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Tips & Tricks
- For added flavor, spread a thin layer of butter on the bread slices before toasting.
- Customize your sandwich by adding sliced cucumbers or tomato for a refreshing crunch.
- Experiment with different types of bread, such as whole wheat or multigrain, for a healthier twist.
- If you prefer a runnier yolk, reduce the cooking time for the soft-boiled eggs to 5 minutes.
- Serve the sandwich with a cup of hot kopi (Singaporean coffee) or teh tarik (pulled tea) for an authentic experience.
Serving advice
Serve the Singaporean-style Breakfast Sandwich warm, either as a standalone breakfast or accompanied by a side of fresh fruit or a small salad.
Presentation advice
