10gwhite wine vinegar

1/2garlic clove

50gparmesan
200gcanola oil
Black pepper
Salt
To serve:
4slicesof fresh ciabatta breadwe used the fantastic bread by @asourstory
4soft-boiled eggsdo we really need to explain how to boil eggs? Yes, because we f***d it up 3 (!!!! times. Put them in boiling water for 5 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the eggs. Smaller eggs will probably need 5 to 5 1/2 minutes. After boiling, put them in cold water, so they won't continue cooking).
Romaine lettuce leaves
Shaved parmesan
20gcapers
200gcanola oil
Salt and pepper to taste
smoked paprika to taste
Instructions
For the spread, blend all the ingredients but the canola oil with an immersion blender. When the mixture is smooth, slowly drizzle in the oil while keep mixing. You just made super fancy mayonnaise. Set aside (even if it's hard not to eat the whole thing).
Let's fry some capers! It's really important that the capers are dry, so please make sure you pat dry them with a paper or kitchen towel. Heat the canola oil in a saucepan. Use a wooden spoon or chopstick to check the temperature. It's about right when bubbles form around the wood, and you hear a light sizzle. Use a skimmer to fry the capers in the hot oil until just golden brown. It will take about a Minute for medium-sized capers.
Transfer the capers to a paper towel to drain. Blot gently to absorb excess oil. Cool briefly before using.
Place a slice of bread onto a plate, spread some Caesar dressing gunk, add romaine lettuce leaves, one soft-boiled egg (slice it in half!), parmesan, the fried capers, and season to taste.
