Healthy Recipes Sauces & Condiments The Best Homemade Aioli Be the first to rate & review! This creamy homemade garlic aioli is oh, so delicious. Adding the oils slowly and gradually helps the mixture hold its emulsion and not split. The more slowly you add the oil, the thicker the aioli will be. Conversely, faster pouring will yield a thinner aioli—but too fast and it will break. If it does break, don't panic. Just place a new egg yolk in a clean bowl and slowly whisk in the broken aioli until smooth and creamy. Use this homemade garlic aioli as a dipping sauce for crunchy vegetables, steamed artichokes or french fries, or as a sandwich spread.

Look for them in the refrigerator case near other whole eggs.
