Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 5 Minutes
Ready In: 10 Minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
4 egg yolks
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dry mustard
dash cayenne
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons 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.
