Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 egg yolk at room temperature
- 1 tea spoon mustard ideally French Dijon Mustard
- 1 cup oil ideally grapeseed oil, if not sunflower oil
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- In a round bottom bowl, first mix the egg yolk and the mustard. Add salt and pepper.
- Then gradually pour the oil in a very thin and regular dash and keep stirring vigorously with a whisk. Make sure you don't drop the oil too quickly - if so stop adding oil and stir even more vigurously to incorporate the excess of oil - and don't stop stirring and pouring oil until you don't get a smooth aerated texture.
