Ingredients

1 large egg, at room temperature

1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice from 1/2 a fresh lemon

1 medium clove garlic, minced

Kosher salt

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Set a medium bowl on a moist towel or rubber trivet to secure the base. Add egg, mustard, lemon juice, and garlic, and whisk to combine. Season with salt. While whisking constantly and briskly, begin adding oil one drop at a time. When 1/4 cup of oil has been added, start adding the oil in a slow, steady stream while continuing to whisk constantly; stop adding oil if too much accumulates in the bowl, only starting again after the excess has been whisked into the creamy sauce that is forming. When all the oil has been added, a thick, silky sauce will have formed. Season with salt. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
