Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp salt
  • dash cayenne
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 cups canola oil

Directions:

  1. Begin with all ingredients at room temperature, they will emulsify more readily.
  2. In a food processor or blender, process the yolks, salt, mustard, cayenne, lemon juice and water together to form a stable base. With the motor running, add a few drops of the oil, the mixture will begin to thicken.
  3. Then, begin adding the remaining oil in a thin, steady stream. Scrape down the sides of the processor/blender. Check seasoning. Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  4. Serve with cold meats, seafood, poultry and salads.
  5. *RAW EGG WARNING
  6. Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
