Ingredients

• 1 head Romaine lettuce
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 slices Crusty bread
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 pieces Anchovy fillets
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 piece Egg yolk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Tear the crusty bread into 1-inch pieces to make croutons. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.

Step 3

While the croutons bake, prepare the dressing. In a mixing bowl, mash the garlic clove and anchovy fillets into a paste using the back of a spoon or a mortar and pestle.

Step 4

Add the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, egg yolk, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the bowl. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and emulsified. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 5

Wash and dry the Romaine lettuce. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 6

Once the croutons are ready, let them cool for a couple of minutes before adding them to the salad bowl.

Step 7

Drizzle the dressing over the lettuce and croutons. Toss gently to combine and ensure the dressing coats everything evenly.

Step 8

Shave or grate Parmesan cheese over the top of the salad.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade Caesar salad!
