6 servings
- 3 cloves garlic
- ¼ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 2 pasteurized egg yolks
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1–2 tsp warm water, as needed
Instructions
- 1
Using a mortar and pestle, pound the garlic cloves with the 1/4 tsp kosher salt until a smooth, sticky paste forms with no visible chunks. Alternatively, mince the garlic finely on a cutting board, then use the flat of the knife to smear and scrape it repeatedly against the board until it becomes a paste.

Transfer the garlic paste to a medium bowl. Add the pasteurized egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice, and whisk together until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 30 seconds.
