Cut baguette on a severely sharp diagonal to make 4 long slices about 1/2-inch thick. Lightly brush each cut side with about half of the olive oil.

Step 3

Grill baguette slices on the preheated grill until lightly crispy 2 to 3 minutes per side. Rub each side of baguette slices with the cut-side of garlic and cut-side of tomatoes. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Brush 2 cut sides of romaine quarters with remaining olive oil.

Step 5

Grill romaine quarters until lightly seared 2 to 3 minutes per side. Sprinkle grilled romaine with salt and set aside to cool.

Place a grilled romaine quarter cut-side up on top of a grilled baguette slice. Drizzle each with Caesar dressing and top with Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper.
