- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, grated or pasted
- Juice of 1 lemon

Yield
Serves: 4
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F. For the croutons, heat a medium-size skillet over medium heat with oil. Melt butter into oil then add garlic and swirl for a minute or two; toss bread cubes in garlic butter. Arrange croutons on a baking sheet and season with black pepper and 1/2 cup Pecorino. Bake croutons to deeply golden brown, remove and reserve.
Raise oven temp to 375°F.
Arrange bacon on a slotted baking sheet or broiler pan and bake to crisp, 18 minutes. Cool to handle then chop into 1-inch pieces.
For the dressing, place anchovies, Dijon, Worcestershire, garlic, lemon juice, pepper and egg yolk in a food processor, and stream in EVOO while machine is running. Add Parm and remaining 1/4 cup Pecorino, and pulse to combine.
Wash and dry lettuce, coarsely chop and place in a large salad bowl. Add croutons, chopped bacon and blue cheese crumbles; toss with dressing to coat and serve.
