Ingredients

In this Balearic adaptation of Kaya Toast, the traditional Singaporean kaya spread remains the star ingredient. However, the bread used is replaced with rustic Balearic bread, which has a denser texture and a slightly sour taste. Additionally, the traditional accompaniment of soft-boiled eggs is substituted with a side of fresh Balearic oranges, adding a burst of citrus flavor to the dish.

Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Balearic bread — If you can't find Balearic bread, you can use a rustic sourdough bread as a substitute. The denser texture and slightly sour taste will still complement the kaya spread well.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra touch of Balearic flavor, sprinkle some grated orange zest on top of the kaya spread before serving.
  • If you prefer a sweeter kaya spread, you can add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup to the mixture while cooking.
  • Experiment with different types of Balearic bread, such as ensaimada or coca de trampó, for a unique twist on the traditional toast.

Serving advice

Serve the Balearic Kaya Toast warm, accompanied by a cup of strong Balearic coffee or a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. The combination of flavors will transport you to the sunny shores of the Balearic Islands.

Presentation advice

Arrange the Balearic Kaya Toast on a rustic wooden platter, garnished with a sprig of fresh mint or a dusting of powdered sugar. This simple yet elegant presentation will enhance the visual appeal of the dish.
