Ingredients

Coconut Jam:

1125 grams coconut milk 
600 grams sugar 
10 grams salt
587 grams whole eggs 
200 grams egg yolks 
2 pandan leaves 

Egg Cloud Foam: 

506 grams whole eggs
113 grams butter, melted and cooled
85 grams milk
6 grams salt 

For the Plate:  

Butter
Pullman bread sliced ¼ inch thick, crusts removed
Egg Cloud Foam
Coarsely ground white pepper
Kikkoman® Soy Sauce in a mister 

Directions

  1. To prepare Coconut Jam, puree all ingredients except pandan leaves. Pour equal amounts of mixture into 2 Cryovac bags, adding 1 pandan leaf per bag; vacuum and seal bags. Cook in a sous vide bath at 180°F for 1 hour or until completely cooked and thickened. Remove mixture from bag and blend with a large immersion blender. Press through a chinois and place in a large bowl. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to avoid forming a skin while it cools. 
  2. To prepare Egg Cloud Foam, puree all ingredients and place in a medium sized Cryovac bag. Vacuum and seal bag. Cook in a sous vide bath at 162.5°F. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove bag from water and knead bag slightly to mix. Cook for a few minutes more or until slightly thickened, but not curdled. (Mixture will cook quickly at this point.) Strain through a China cap. Pour into CSI gun and dispense 2 nitrous canisters into gun, shaking vigorously between each charger. 
  3. When ready to serve, butter bread and toast until golden brown on both sides. Spread Coconut Jam generously on one side of toast. 
  4. Dispense the Egg Cloud Foam into small ramekins; top with pepper and a mist of soy sauce. Place a ramekin on plate with bread and serve immediately.
