Instructions
-
Wash, dry, and cut Romaine lettuce into bite-size pieces; refrigerate covered with a wet paper towel.
-
Cut bread into 1/2-inch cubes. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat, then sauté bread cubes until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels.
-
Mash garlic and anchovies into a paste. Combine with egg yolks and lemon juice, beating until smooth.
-
Slowly whisk in the remaining olive oil. Season the dressing with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, then stir in half the grated cheese.
-
In a large bowl, toss the chilled lettuce with the dressing until coated. Add croutons and toss again. Serve immediately, topped with remaining cheese.
