    • 8 cups torn romaine lettuce
    • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
    • 1 clove garlic
    • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
    • 1/3 cup olive oil
    • 6 flat anchovy fillets, drained and finely chopped
    • fresh ground pepper
    • 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

    Instructions


    1. Coddle the egg by bringing about two cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Place the egge on a spoon and carefully lower into the boiling water.
    2. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and let egg stand in water for one minute.
    3. Remove egg and place in cold water to STOP the cooking process.

    5. Place the romaine in a large salad bowl. (If done ahead, cover and refrigerate)
    6. In a medium bowl mix the lemon juice, garlic and mustard. Using a whisk (or fork) gradually beat in the oil.
    7. Mix in the anchovies
    8. Grind the pepper and generously add over the romaine.
    9. Add the dressing ans mix GENTLY.
    10. Break coddled egg and mix well.
