Preparation
Step 1
Make sure ingredients are at room temperature before starting to mix. Place eggs in a cup of warm water to speed up the process if needed.
Add oil, egg yolks and lemon juice into a blending container. Place hand blender at the bottom of the container and turn on. Within seconds you will see the mayonnaise start to form at the bottom. It will begin to emulsify and become thick. IMPORTANT: make sure to not lift up blender until most of the oil has been incorporated; then begin to move up slowly.
Once your mixture feels like real mayo, add the chopped garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well and enjoy. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge and consume over the next few days (make sure to use the freshest, high-quality eggs available).
Total time: 5 minutes
