8 cl olive oil
8 garlic cloves (degermed and crushed)

16 small slices of baguette bread fried in a pan with olive oil

Step-by-step directions

Recipe progression

1- Heat the olive oil then add the garlic cloves and let them sweat covered for 2 minutes then moisten with 1 liter of hot water.
add the bay leaf, thyme, saffron powder, salt and freshly ground pepper and let cook covered for 10 minutes

2- Then blend the soup well, remembering to remove the bay leaf (at this stage some pass this soup through a chinois, not me).
in the soup bowl put the 2 egg yolks then using a small ladle and a whisk, pour the soup little by little over the yolks while never stopping stirring until the end.

3- Do not bring this soup to a boil again, serve it immediately with the small croutons fried in the center of the table and watch the tender looks of your guests...
