Instructions
- Make the croutons by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
- While the oven is preheating, make the garlic-infused olive oil by adding the minced garlic to the oil and allowing it to sit for 15-20 minutes. Strain the oil through a fine sieve.
- Toss the garlic-infused oil with the cubes of bread then season well with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Toss very well until evenly coated.
- Pour onto the baking sheet then place into the oven and bake, flipping with a spatula occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Make the dressing by heating 2 inches of water in a small saucepan over high heat.
- Once the water is boiling, place the egg in the water using a slotted spoon.
- Cook for 45 seconds then remove.
- As soon as the egg is cool enough, crack the egg open; reserve the yolk into a bowl and discard the whites (or save it for another recipe).
- Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, anchovy paste, and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste, to the yolk.
- Whisk until very well combined.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a slow steady stream while whisking constantly.
- Taste and season with lemon juice, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
- To prepare the salad, right before serving toss the Romaine hearts in a large bowl with the well whisked Caesar dressing, to taste, until evenly coated.
- Place the romaine on a serving platter then sprinkle the garlic-infused croutons on top followed by some freshly shaved Parmesan cheese, a few more drizzles of dressing, and a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper, to taste.
- Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges. Enjoy.
