Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 flat anchovy fillets, drained and chopped
1 small garlic clove, chopped
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices baguette
1 large egg
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
3 hearts of romaine (18 ounces)
1 ounce finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Purée anchovies, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper in a blender until smooth.
  • Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).
  • Brush both sides of baguette slices with some of anchovy dressing, then grill bread, turning over occasionally, until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add egg and lemon juice to dressing in blender and blend until emulsified, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Cut romaine hearts in half lengthwise, then grill, cut sides down, covered only if using a gas grill, until grill marks just appear, about 2 minutes. Cut romaine crosswise into 2-inch-wide strips and transfer to a bowl.
  • Halve or quarter toasts and add to romaine along with Parmigiano-Reggiano.
  • Toss salad with just enough dressing to coat and serve immediately.
