Points to remember
- Whisk your eggs, mustard and seasoning well before adding the oil.
- Add the oil as slowly as you can to start with, a drip at a time is best.
- Once the eggs have thickened you can start adding the oil in a steady stream.
- Season at the end adding some acidity such as lemon juice or vinegar.
