How to Make Garlic Mayonnaise Aioli

  1. Mince 2-3 cloves of garlic (depending on your preference for garlic intensity).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic and 2 large egg yolks.
  3. Using a hand mixer on low speed with only one beater, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of high-quality extra virgin olive oil in a thin, steady stream. Beat constantly until the mixture emulsifies and thickens.
  4. Continue adding the olive oil slowly, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency and have used approximately 1 ½ cups of olive oil. Continue beating until fully emulsified.
  5. Season generously with salt to taste (start with ½ teaspoon and add more as needed).
  6. For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (about ½ teaspoon) or a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
