Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 10 slices baguette
Heat a large fry pan over medium heat with the olive oil; cut ten one-inch slices of baguette.
Fry the baguette slices in a single layer 2 minutes per side until golden; remove.
  • 1 whole onion
  • 8 cloves garlic
In the same pan, saute the chopped onion and garlic, stirring continuously, 3 to 4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  • 2½ g sweet smoked Spanish paprika
Stir in the paprika to coat.
  • 3½ cup vegetable broth
  • sea salt
  • black pepper
Add the vegetable broth, season with sea salt and black pepper and simmer about 10 minutes over medium heat.
  • 2 whole eggs
  • cold water
Cover the eggs with cold water by half an inch in a saucepan, bring to a boil on high, cover, turn off the heat and leave 11 to 12 minutes.
Turn off the heat under the broth, return the fried baguette in a single layer to soak, and leave 5 to 10 minutes until slightly cooled.
Process 1 to 2 minutes until creamy, adding more broth or water if too thick.
  • fresh parsley
Serve warm (reheat a couple of minutes), chilled (a couple of hours in the fridge) or at room temperature, garnished with hard boiled egg and parsley.
