Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and drizzle olive oil on a baking tray before placing the whole head of garlic, cut in half horizontally. Roast the garlic for 30-40 minutes until soft and golden.
- While the garlic is roasting, pour chicken stock into a pot over medium-high heat, bringing it to a gentle boil. Add salt and dried sage, then reduce to a simmer.
- Once the garlic is roasted, mash it into a smooth paste in a bowl, focusing on breaking it down while still warm.
- Whisk together the egg yolk and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Gradually drizzle in olive oil while whisking to create a creamy emulsion.
- Slowly add the garlic paste into the pot with the simmering broth, stirring well. Temper the egg emulsion by adding a ladle of the warm stock into it, then pour it into the pot.
- Ladle the warm soup into bowls and serve immediately, optionally topping with croutons or a poached egg.
