Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toss the bread with 1 tbsp olive oil and some salt flakes. Sprinkle over half the grated parmesan, trying to keep it on the bread. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden. Grill the bacon until crisp, then break into pieces.
step 2
Mix the crème fraîche, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and the rest of the parmesan with a squeeze of lemon juice and a splash of water, then season.
step 3
Toss the lettuce with half the dressing and divide between 2 plates. Top with pieces of bacon, croutons and spring onions. Drizzle over the rest of the dressing.
