New Caesar Salad image

This recipe rebuilds the salad, reimagining it as crostini: Parmesan and dressed escarole (in place of romaine) are piled on top of white anchovies, which are cured in vinegar and oil and have a mild flavor.

1 baguette, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (1/2 ounce)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Oil-packed white anchovy fillets (optional)
