Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 fillets Anchovy fillets, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Crusty bread, cut into small cubes (for croutons)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the grated Parmesan cheese evenly in small, flat circles on the parchment paper. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until golden and crisp, then set aside to cool.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the bread cubes and toast them until they are golden and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
To make the dressing, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, and anchovy fillets in a bowl. Mash everything together with the back of a spoon until well combined.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, egg yolks, and lemon juice. Whisk vigorously until the mixture emulsifies and becomes creamy.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste, and adjust lemon juice for extra tanginess if desired.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce thoroughly, then chop or tear it into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.
Drizzle the dressing over the lettuce and toss until all leaves are evenly coated.
Top the salad with the toasted croutons, Parmesan crisps, and any extra grated Parmesan if desired.
Serve immediately, garnished with a little extra black pepper for a finishing touch. Enjoy your Caesar My Way!
