I've just hit a stumbling block with my copy of Lettuce in Your Kitchen (eG-friendly Amazon.com link). The recipe for "Regulation Caesar Salad with Lots of Garlic Croutons" calls for 2 large eggs in the dressing ingredients. The first instruction says

1. Slip the eggs into a small saucepan of boiling water and boil for just 2 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water and crack the yolks into a small bowl. Add all remaining dressing ingredients and whisk to combine. Set aside.

 

Does that mean that the whites will be firm and I'll have only yolks running out after I crack the eggs? If so, am I to do something else entirely with the cooked whites? I can't find this issue addressed anywhere in the recipe. I'm making another dressing for the time being, since I'm loath to possibly waste a couple of eggs.

 

Advice, anyone?
