7. Add 3+ threads of saffron and crumple into the butter
8. To a 4 cup pyrex add the egg yolk
9. Using your immersion blender, whisk in olive oil slowly until you have a good base, maybe about 1/4 cup total. If you don't have an immersion blender, consider getting one or see alternative options here.
