Top it with Crispy Capers and a Single, Giant Crouton

This delicious recipe thinks outside the box by making "giant croutons" (think full, thick slices of sourdough) instead of the small, bite-sized ones we usually see atop our Caesars.  It also throws in crispy capers roasted in the oven for extra crunch and chopped hard-boiled egg for added protein.
