Ingredients
6 slices white sandwich bread, cubed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup blue cheese dressing (see directions)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
3 romaine lettuce hearts, roughly chopped
Crumbled blue cheese, for topping
Directions
- Toss the bread with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden on all sides, about 7 minutes. Set aside and let cool slightly.
