Description

Like Caesar dressing, an omelet has eggs. Why can't it have the rest of the ingredients of a Caesar salad too? This one does. It's my own creation, and it works!

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 clove garlic, minced, divided
  • salt to taste
  • 2 large romaine lettuce, coarsely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 anchovy fillets, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. 2. Toss bread crumbs with 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1/2 of the minced garlic, and salt. Place bread crumbs in a baking pan.
  3. 3. Bake in the preheated oven, turning once or twice, until crispy and golden, about 5 minutes.
  4. 4. Heat 2 more teaspoons of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add romaine lettuce and cook, seasoning with salt, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over romaine.
  5. 5. Combine anchovies, lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, and remaining garlic in a mortar. Season with salt. Grind into a paste using a pestle. Transfer paste into a small bowl. Add eggs, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper and beat well.
  6. 6. Heat an omelet pan or small frying pan over medium heat. Add remaining olive oil. Pour in egg mixture and cook until edges set slightly but top is still moist, gently stirring the uncooked egg as needed, 2 to 3 minutes. Add romaine to one side of the omelet; top with bread crumbs. Gently fold omelet in half and transfer to a plate.
