Ingredients

  • ½ baguette, cut into cubes, divided
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 8 slices bacon, divided
  • 2 anchovy fillets
  • 6 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds Brussels sprouts

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Toss baguette cubes with olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, in a large bowl. Place on a baking sheet.

Step 3
Place a wire cooling rack on a separate baking sheet; lay bacon slices on top.

Step 4
Bake bacon and baguette cubes in the preheated oven until bacon is browned and baguette is toasted, about 15 minutes; make sure to turn the bread halfway through. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Finely chop bacon.

Step 5
Mash anchovy fillets, garlic, and mustard together with a fork in a large salad bowl. Add mayonnaise, 1/2 of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk dressing until well combined.

Step 6
Shave Brussels sprouts using a mandolin; place into the bowl with the dressing. Add 1/2 of the bacon and croutons; toss until well coated. Serve with remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, croutons, and bacon on top.

Cook’s Note:

You can also use a knife or a food processor to shave the Brussels sprouts.
