Directions
- 1
Let the eggs sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before starting — this is key to a stable emulsion that won't break.
- 2
Place the eggs and garlic cloves in a tall blending cup. Pour the sunflower oil on top without stirring.
- 3
Insert an immersion blender all the way to the bottom and blend at full speed. Hold still for 10 seconds until a thick white base forms, then slowly pull the blender upward.
- 4
Add the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. Blend for another 15 seconds until fully combined.
- 5
Taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer to a sealed jar and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a milder flavor, roast the garlic cloves in the oven before blending. A teaspoon of Dijon mustard can also help stabilize the emulsion and adds a pleasant tang.
