# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the anchovy paste and minced garlic until smooth. The smell alone is amazing!
02 -
Whisk in the lemon juice and Dijon mustard until well combined. This is super quick, but crucial for flavor!
03 -
Slowly drizzle in a few tablespoons of olive oil while whisking constantly. Don't cook the eggs!
04 -
Continue whisking while slowly adding the rest of the olive oil, a little at a time. It should thicken nicely!

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust as needed!
06 -
Serve immediately or refrigerate. It tastes even better the next day!

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
03 -
Whole grain mustard is a great substitute for Dijon.
04 -
Serve over your favorite salad, roasted vegetables, or use as a dip.
