Ingredients:

Serving

8 tbsp olive oil
1/2 lb sourdough baguette, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1 quart)
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp cooking oil
3/4 lb shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 hard-cooked eggs
3 tbsp wine vinegar
2 1/2 tsp anchovy paste
2 small heads romaine lettuce (about 1 lb each), cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips (about 5 quarts)
1/4 cup grated parmesan

Directions:

In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over moderate heat. Add the cubed bread, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and stir to coat the bread with the oil. Sauté the bread until crisp and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in half the garlic. Transfer to a large salad bowl.
In the same pan, heat the cooking oil over moderately high heat. Add the mushrooms, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add half the remaining garlic and the parsley and cook, stirring, for 1 minute longer. Add the mushrooms to the croutons.
Put the eggs, vinegar, anchovy paste, and the remaining garlic, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 5 tablespoons olive oil in a blender or food processor and whir until smooth. Add the lettuce to the mushrooms and croutons, sprinkle with Parmesan, and then add the dressing. Toss to coat.
Wine Recommendation: Because sparkling wines have surprisingly high acidity,a nonvintage brut Champagne will go well with this salad, matching the vinegar in the dressing and cutting the Parmesan's richness.
