🛒 Ingredients

1 servings

1
  • 2 whole eggs (room temperature)
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) sunflower oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • salt and white pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 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. 2

    Place the eggs and garlic cloves in a tall blending cup. Pour the sunflower oil on top without stirring.

  3. 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. 4

    Add the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. Blend for another 15 seconds until fully combined.

  5. 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.
