Time 1h25m

Yield 36 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste or 1 anchovy, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Worcestershire, garlic, lemon juice, anchovy paste, salt and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Add the lettuce to the dressing; toss well to coat.

Cook until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, let cool for 1 minute, and then invert the cheese onto a parchment-lined baking sheet with the help of an offset spatula. Set aside to cool completely.

CAESAR SALAD BITES

This can be a quick last minute appetizer or something you can throw together quickly to take to a pot luck. Generally I always have these items on hand which adds to the ease. I have also subbed out other dressings like Green Goddess with fantastic results. I love it because it looks impressive, yet it is easy to make. Serve immediately or you may put the platter in the refrigerator for a few hours.

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 thick slices hearty bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 to 3 anchovies
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 romaine lettuce heart
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
Grated Parmesan, for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the croutons: Combine the oil and garlic in a small bowl and whisk for 10 seconds. Add the bread cubes and toss to coat. Add the Parmesan, season to taste with salt and pepper and toss again. Transfer to a small baking sheet, drizzle with a little more oil and bake until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
  • For the dressing: Combine the Parmesan, yolk, lemon juice, anchovies, garlic and Worcestershire in a food processor. Pulse 3 to 4 times until well combined. While the processor is running, drizzle in the oil and process until a smooth emulsion forms, about 30 seconds. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • For the bites: Tear the leaves from the romaine heart and arrange on a platter. Place a few croutons and tomato halves inside each leaf. Drizzle each leaf with about a tablespoon of dressing (you will have leftovers). Sprinkle the bites with Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh Romaine lettuce for the best flavor and texture.
  • Chop the lettuce into small pieces so that it is easy to eat.
  • Use a microplane grater to grate the Parmesan cheese for a finer texture.
  • Make sure the dressing is well-emulsified before adding it to the salad.
  • To make the salad bites ahead of time, assemble them and then store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
  • Serve the salad bites immediately with extra dressing on the side.

Conclusion:

Caesar salad bites are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken or bacon. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these tasty treats that are sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
