- In a skillet over medium-low heat, add about 2 inches of oil. - - To check the temperature of the oil, simply insert a wooden chopstick. - - If there are bubbles forming around the chopstick, the oil is ready. The bubbles should not be bubbling rapidly. - - In a shallow bowl, add eggs and milk.
- Whisk to beat the eggs and combine well. - - Remove crust from the bread. - - You can save the crust for bread crumbs or fry them up into bread fries - - Dredge the bread with the egg mixture on both sides.
- Gently drop the sandwiches into the oil away from you. - - Fry until lightly golden brown on both sides. - - The bread will brown and burn very fast. Make sure the temperature is at medium-low heat. Using a pair of chopsticks to keep flipping for even browning.
- Remove from heat and drain off excess oil on a wire cooling rack or on a plate lined with kitchen paper. - - Repeat the steps with the remaining bread. - - Spread kaya on 2 slices of the fried bread.
- Spread butter on another 2 slices of fried bread. - - Stack the butter slices onto the kaya ones. - - Finally, place the remaining slices on top. - - Slice and serve with a drizzle of condensed milk.
- To make bread fries, toss the crust into the remaining egg batter and fry until crispy. I like to serve with kaya as a dipping sauce and a drizzle of Nature Superfoods' yacon syrup or maple syrup.*
