Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup Vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/8 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, or use a garlic press for a smoother consistency. Set aside.
Finely chop the fresh chives and set them aside as well.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth and well combined.
Combine the vegetable oil and olive oil in a measuring cup or jar for easy pouring.
Slowly drizzle the mixed oils into the egg yolk mixture, a few drops at a time, whisking continuously to create a stable emulsion. As the mixture begins to thicken, you can add the oil more steadily but continue whisking vigorously.
Once all the oil has been incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy, stir in the minced garlic, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if desired.
Transfer the Garlic Chive Mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
