Equipment

1 food processor you could use a whisk instead

Ingredients

2 egg yolks
¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
4 anchovies, chopped
½ tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
¾ cup freshly grated parmesan
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Add 2 egg yolks to a bowl and vigorously whisk or add to a food processor and mix until creamy.
If continuing with the food processor add the olive and and process until creamy then add the remaining ingredients and combine. If whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to the bowl as you intensely whisk it and emulsify the fat to become creamy. Once creamy add the anchovies, garlic, worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, and lemon juice until completely combined.
Whisk in salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese. Serve with romaine lettuce, croutons and shaved parmesan cheese.

Notes

Whisking is incredibly hard. You have to pour in the olive oil EXTRA slowly and whisk vigorously to be able to emulsify the fat. It takes practice. If you try it and it doesn't work though, just pour the whole mixture into the food processor and combine. It will emulsify it just fine.
