Ingredients

  • 1 large egg room temperature (very important!!) also use a pasteurized egg for food safety
  • 2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup extra light olive oil not EVOO-also important

Instructions

  • Combine egg, lemon juice, mustard powder, white pepper and salt in the food processor and blend until frothy
  • Using the drip hole in the top of the processor, drizzle the oil in a few drops at a time (do not rush this emulsion process...it will result in a liquid mess)
  • Once you have a good bit of drops mixed in, very slowly (I cannot over emphasize VERY SLOWLY) drizzle the oil down the tube little by little until all is mixed in and mixture is nice and creamy

Notes

Makes about 20 tablespoon-size servings
