Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

2. 2

   Cut the baguette into 4 pieces of equal length. Slice each piece into 4 thick segments, cutting only three-quarters of the way down so the segments stay joined at the base.

3. 3

   Beat the cream cheese with 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp cream until smooth and spreadable.

4. 4

   Spoon the cream cheese into a zip bag and snip off one corner.

5. 5

   Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Take it off the heat and stir in the garlic, 1.5 tbsp sugar, the remaining 1 tbsp cream, the parsley and the salt.

6. 6

   Let the sauce cool for 1 min so it does not scramble the egg, then whisk in the egg.

7. 7

   Pipe the cream cheese into every cut in the bread.

8. 8

   Spoon the garlic sauce over the top and into the gaps until each piece is well coated. Set the pieces on the baking sheet.

9. 9

   Bake for 12-15 min, until the sauce is set and the top is golden.

10. 10

    Rest for 2 min, then serve warm.
