1 recipe Caesar dressing, omitting Parmesan cheese (below)
1 lg. head romaine
6 anchovy filets, drained and chopped
1 clove garlic
1 egg
1/4 c. crumbled blue cheese
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
Juice of 1/2 lemon
3 whole anchovy fillets

Prepare dressing; refrigerate 1 hour.

Trim core from romaine. Separate into leaves, discarding wilted or discolored ones. Place in salad basket. Rinse under cold, running water; shake well to remove excess moisture. (Or wash under cold running water; drain and dry on paper towels.) Place romaine in a plastic bag; store in refrigerator until crisp and cold, several hours or overnight.

Add chopped anchovies to dressing. Keep refrigerated. Rub garlic clove into the surface of a large wooden salad bowl and then discard.

In a small saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to boiling. Turn off heat. Carefully lower egg into water; let stand 1 minute, then lift out. Set aside to cool.

Cut the coarse ribs from large leaves of romaine. Tear in bite size pieces into salad bowl. Shake dressing well and pour 1/2 cup over romaine.

Sprinkle with both kinds of cheese. Toss until all romaine is coated with salad dressing. Break egg over center of salad. Pour lemon juice directly over egg; toss well. Garnish top with the whole anchovies, if desired.
