Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or crusty sourdough bread
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 hearts Romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 pieces Anchovy fillets (optional)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Hard-boiled eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the baguette or sourdough loaf into thick slices, about 1 inch thick.
Brush each slice with olive oil on both sides. Mince one garlic clove and rub it over the surface of the bread to infuse it with a garlicky flavor.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Set aside to cool slightly.
While the bread is baking, prepare the Caesar salad dressing. Use a blender or whisk to combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, dijon mustard, grated Parmesan cheese, anchovy fillets (if using), 1 garlic clove (minced or grated), salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and toss it with the prepared dressing in a large bowl.
Peel and slice the hard-boiled eggs into quarters or halves.
To serve, lay the crusty bread slices on individual plates or on a serving platter. Top each slice with a generous mound of the dressed lettuce and a few slices of hard-boiled egg.
Sprinkle extra grated Parmesan cheese over the top as a garnish and serve immediately.
