Instructions
Make the Confit Garlic (Oven Method):
Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Place peeled garlic cloves in a small oven-safe dish and cover with olive oil. Add thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Cover with foil and bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the garlic is soft, golden, and spreadable. Let cool, then remove herbs and separate garlic from the oil (reserve oil for the mayo). (For a faster confit garlic bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–30 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning garlic. )
Make the Mayo (Immersion Blender Method):
In a tall, narrow jar, add egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Pour in neutral oil first, followed by confit garlic oil. Place the immersion blender at the bottom of the jar, then turn it on. Slowly lift the blender as the mixture emulsifies into a creamy mayo. Add mashed confit garlic cloves, salt, and pepper. Blend again until smooth.
