- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese

Method
Step 1
Make an anchovy-garlic paste: Mince the anchovies and garlic together until the mixture is mostly smooth and the garlic is minced, about 3 minutes; set aside.
Step 2
Whisk the egg yolks: Whisk the egg yolks together in a medium bowl until smooth.
Step 3
Add the mustard: Whisk in the mustard until just combined.
Step 4
Add the anchovy-garlic paste: Whisk in the anchovy-garlic mixture.
Step 5
Whisk in the lemon juice: While whisking, pour in the lemon juice, then whisk until smooth.
Step 6
Whisk in the olive oil: While whisking, stream in the olive oil to create a thick emulsion. Once all of the olive oil is added, whisk for another minute to thicken.
Step 7
Finish with vegetable oil: Continue whisking and slowly stream in the vegetable oil. Again, once all of the vegetable oil is added, whisk for another minute to thicken.
Step 8
Season and serve: Whisk in the Parmesan cheese. Taste and season with black pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
