The preparation

4 steps, about 10 minutes start to finish.

  1. 01

    Whisk egg yolks, lemon juice, and mustard together in a bowl.

  2. 02

    Very slowly drizzle in oil while whisking constantly to emulsify.

  3. 03

    Continue until all oil is incorporated and mayo is thick.

  4. 04

    Season with salt.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Add the oil a few drops at a time to start, whisking the whole while. Pour it too fast and the emulsion breaks, leaving you a greasy split mess instead of thick mayo.”
