- 1 large egg
- 2 large egg yolks
- � t. + � to 1 t. dry or Dijon mustard
- 2 t. + 1 � to 3 t. fresh lemon juice or vinegar
- � t. salt
- 1 � c. oil, room temperature
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Add the egg, the egg yolks and the � t. mustard to the blender and blend on high speed until well blended, about 5 seconds. Scrape down the sides, then sprinkle with the 2 t. vinegar/lemon and � t. salt.
- Blend for about 2 minutes. With the blender running, add the oil in the thinnest possible stream. After about 1/3 of the oil has been added � the mixture will have swollen and stiffened � add the oil in a slightly thicker stream. Stop the blender when all has been added and scrape down the sides and around the blade, mixing in any unabsorbed oil.
