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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the baguette or sourdough loaf into thick slices, about 1 inch thick.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and toss it with the prepared dressing in a large bowl.

Step 7

Peel and slice the hard-boiled eggs into quarters or halves.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Sprinkle extra grated Parmesan cheese over the top as a garnish and serve immediately.
