HOTEL CAESAR'S CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• Place garlic cloves in oil in jar and let stand for at least four hours. When ready to serve, discard garlic and add seasoned oil to greens in bowl. Add vinegar, lemon juice, eggs, salt, pepper and Worcestershire to taste. Add cheese and croutons. Roll as in folding (do not toss) salad until ingredients are well mixed.
• Note: to coddle eggs, drop unshelled in hot, but not boiling water to heat, about 1 to 2 minutes.

THE BEST CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the croutons: Put the olive oil and butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. When the butter is completely melted add the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Carefully swirl the pan to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the garlic to infuse the oil mixture.
• Put the bread pieces on a baking sheet. Evenly pour the garlic mixture over the bread and toss to coat. Spread the bread in a single layer and bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir the bread halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with black pepper and Parmesan. Set aside to cool.
• For the salad: Soak the anchovies in a small bowl of water for 5 minutes. Rinse with cold water, drain and pat dry. Finely chop the anchovies and garlic, then use the side of your knife to mash them to a paste.
• Add the anchovy paste, egg yolk, Dijon mustard and lemon juice to a large bowl and whisk to combine. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a steady stream until emulsified. Stir in 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan. If needed, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time to thin the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the lettuce and croutons to a large bowl and gently toss with the dressing until coated. Top with grated Parmesan and serve immediately.

• Toss the greens with enough dressing to coat. Divide among 6 plates and top with the sautéed mushrooms.
• Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
