Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large egg yolks
- 3 medium fresh garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup olive oil
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.
In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth.
Start adding the olive oil and avocado oil very slowly at first, drop by drop, while continuously whisking the egg yolk mixture. This helps to emulsify and prevent the mayonnaise from separating.
As the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify, you can start adding the oils more quickly in a thin, steady stream. Continue to whisk vigorously and ensure the oils are fully incorporated before adding more.
Once all the oil has been added and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the garlic mayonnaise to a clean jar or storage container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Use within one week, and keep refrigerated.
