Heat butter in large skillet. Add bread and garlic and cook until bread cubes are toasted. Remove and set aside. In a small saucepan heat water to boiling. Add egg and cook for one minute. Remove and plunge into cold water to stop cooking. In a food processor add egg, lemon juice, Dijon, Worcestershire, vinegar, and anchovies. Mix until well combined. Slowly add olive oil and mix until dressing is completely combined. In a large bowl tear up lettuce leaves and toss with enough dressing to coat evenly. Add croutons and cheese to salad and toss to combine. Notes: Cooking the egg briefly makes it safer to eat. Raw eggs can be dangerous to some people. |
