Preparation
Step 1
Instructions
1 small French baguette, cut into 1 inch cups 4 hearts romaine lettuce, torn into small pieces Freshly shaved parmesan cheese, for topping
Place the egg yolks, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic, salt, pepper, anchovy fillets or paste and mustard into the pitcher and blend on 2 until the mixture is very smooth. With the blender running, slowly pour two-thirds cup olive oil through the top pouring tab in a steady stream to emulsify the dressing. Add the Parmesan cheese and pulse on 1 to blend. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Combine 2 cloves of the minced garlic, ¼ cup oil, and bread cups in a bowl and toss to coat. Spread the bread cups onto a baking sheet and bake, watching carefully, until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
To assemble the salads, place the torn lettuce in a large bowl, toss with the dressing and top with the croutons and shaved Parmesan cheese. Serve at once.
