Method

Croutons Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croutons

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Cut the Bread

    Cut the sourdough bread into small cubes, about 1-inch in size.

  3. 3

    Season the Bread

    In a bowl, toss the bread cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Bake the Croutons

    Spread the seasoned bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through.

Salad Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Tear it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 6

    Grate the Cheese

    Grate the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and set aside.

  3. 7

    Make the Dressing

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  4. 8

    Emulsify the Dressing

    While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing is thick and creamy.

  5. 9

    Combine the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the romaine lettuce and toss to coat evenly. Add the grated cheese and croutons, then gently toss again.
