   Add the oil in a thin, slow stream, while the blender is running, until a thick emulsion forms.

   💡The thin stream is everything: fat that goes in too fast can't bind, and the sauce breaks. For mayonnaise and hollandaise, if this happens, start with a fresh yolk and slowly add the broken sauce to it; if the sauce is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water.
4. 4
   Add the lemon juice and stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
5. 5
   In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice and garlic and chill until serving.
