Toss bread cubes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toast in a 375F oven or skillet until golden and crunchy.

Mash anchovies and garlic into a paste using the flat of a knife or a mortar and pestle.

Whisk egg yolk, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to emulsify into a creamy dressing.

Toss romaine with the dressing until every leaf is well coated. Add croutons and shaved Parmigiano, toss once more, and serve.
