How to Cook :
1. Prepare a very large bowl, then whisk together the olive oil and garlic. then let it rest for half an hour
2. While the oil is resting, make the croutons. Spread the baguette slices out over a baking sheet (may need to do in batches), lined with parchment paper or silpat. Brush or spray baguette with olive oil (or melted butter, or if you want garlicky croutons, dip pastry brush in the garlic infused oil you have sitting in step 1).Broil for a couple of minutes until the tops are lightly browned. (Note: Do not leave the baguette since these can easily go from browned to burnt.) Remove and let then let it cool down.
3. Add anchovies and eggs to the oil garlic mixture. Whisk until it goes creamy. Then add salt , pepper and 1/4 cup of lemon juice. Whisk in half of the Parmesan cheese. From this point you can taste it and season it according to your own taste and preference.
4. Tear off chunks of lettuce from the heads of lettuce (do not use knife to cut).Add the lettuce to the oil mixture and toss until everything is coated. Add the rest of the Parmesan Cheese, then toss it again.
5. Coarsely chop the toasted baguette and add it (with the crumbs from the chopping) to the salad. Toss. Serve immediately.
