This is a recipe from my culinary school days, and I have never had any trouble with it, so I am puzzled…

It sounds like you had a lovely mayonnaise (super-thick) until it broke, which is the result of adding to much oil. It is possible to rescue a broken mayonnaise, but difficult to explain in a small space like this. Check Youtube for a video demo.

Just to confirm with you that 200ml of oil equals 7 ounces, or just over 3/4 cup. That is the maximum amount of oil that one egg yolk can emulsify.

Both times I had to throw it out. I wasted four eggs and 3 1/2 cups of oil trying. It went from super-thick to separated in about 2 seconds. It was the consistency of congealed soup. I’d sure like to know what went wrong.
