Creamy dressed lettuce leaves.
Ingredients:
  • 4 slices traditional Italian Pane Di Casa bread (crusty bread)
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 20.00 ml small fresh thyme sprigs
  • Salt & freshly ground pepper
  • 6 red oak lettuce leaves, washed
  • 8 butter lettuce leaves, washed
  • 8 mignonette lettuce leaves, washed
  • Dressing
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 5.90 gm Dijon mustard
  • 20.00 ml white wine vinegar
  • 80ml olive oil
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Tear the bread into 2-3cm pieces, then mix with oil and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the mixture on the tray and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Create a creamy dressing by whisking the egg yolk until pale, then mix in the Dijon and vinegar. Slowly incorporate the oil while whisking continuously. Season to perfection.
  • Mix together the lettuce leaves, half of the croutons, and a touch of dressing. Sprinkle the rest of the croutons on top. Finish by drizzling with more dressing before serving.
