1. Preheat the oven to 230 degrees Celsius (450 degrees Fahrenheit). In a large pot, heat olive oil, add garlic cloves, and fry until golden. Transfer the garlic to a separate plate. In the same pot with the garlic-infused oil, add baguette slices and fry until golden. Transfer the fried slices to a plate and set aside.2. In the same pot, add paprika and fry for a few seconds. Then add broth, cumin, saffron, and the previously fried garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring and mashing the garlic with a wooden spoon, for about 5 minutes.3. Ladle the soup into 4 individual serving bowls. Carefully crack one egg into each bowl and top with a slice of baguette. Place the bowls in the oven for 3-4 minutes, until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Garnish the finished soup with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Instructions
It is crucial to fry the garlic only until golden; over-fried garlic can impart an unpleasant bitter taste to the soup.
