Cut a few pieces of thick butter and apply Kaya generously on the toast.

Sandwich the Kaya with ice-cold butter and cut the toast lengthwise.

Bring a pot of water to a boil.

Turn off the heat and place the raw eggs into the water, setting a timer for four minutes.

Keep the eggs in a bowl of room temperature water to stop cooking after four minutes.
