I love this recipe but had issues with my family refusing to eat a caesar because of the " RAW" egg despite my coddling it...SOOO I found a solution that gives a creamy eggy touch. I soft boil an egg, cut into half...take the moist yolk out and mash it and put that into the rest of the ingredients. It helps with the taste and emulsification of the oil with the rest of the ingredients. My family is no long afraid to eat caesar salad and it is safer with the cooked yolk if your dressing other veggies with it for a pot luck dinner and might not be able to keep it cold. Haven't killed anyone yet with that extra step. Also if I want to make ahead of time for event 2-3 days ahead I mix it all up with raw egg...then pour dressing into a bottle and seal it then place it in a pan with hot water to the top and let it sit simmering for 10 mins. That takes can of "cooking" the egg and is safer to use for preparing large amount for a pot luck salad.

I made this recipe for X-mas dinner and it was EXCELLENT...however I did have to drop temp to 425 when the drippings started to smoke. By then I did have a nice crust. I had water pipes bust 2 days earlier and was snowed in and had NO eggs or other fresh fixins before X-mas dinner;I was plumb worn out trying to clean up and still make a nice but really scaled back dinner. (I was having to carry water from neighbors so it was good to just quickly season the roast, put it in the oven and cook some taters and be done in 2 hours or so. There was NO way I could have managed a turkey, dressing, etc with the disaster..but this worked on real short notice and looked lavish, though real simple.

I've made this sort of cheese for 35 years and I can tell you that one must beware of ULTRA Pasteurized milk. I couldn't figure out why all of a sudden I had little curd formation. Thought I had lost my touch or something...but found that the problem wasn't me...it was my buying a real good brand of milk (vs a store brand) that was ULTRA Pasteurized. Since then I have read it has poor yield if it even works at all. Not worth the time and effort. Hope this helps those who had issues. It probably wasn't you...just the milk.
