Cooking Guide

Make the Parmesan Crostini

• Heat oven to 400°F.

• Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet.

• Brush lightly with olive oil and season with fresh black pepper and a bit of salt. Bake for 4 minutes

• Sprinkle shredded parmesan onto parchment lined baking tray, place bread on top (olive oil side down)

• Bake for another 4-5 minutes until golden and crisp.

Assemble the Caesar Salad

• Toss the romaine, dressing, and toppings from the Caesar kit together. Chop the lettuce slightly smaller than usual so it sits easily on the crostini.

• Top each crostini with a small pile of Caesar salad.

• Finish with black pepper and a cherry tomato if desired

Tips and tricks

• Add crispy pancetta for an Italian steakhouse feel.

• Use grilled chicken for a more filling appetizer.

• Add a tiny anchovy piece for classic Caesar flavor.

• Drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze for a modern touch.
