Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or white vinegar
- 1 cup (240 ml) neutral oil (grapeseed, canola, or light olive oil)
- Salt, to taste (start with ½ teaspoon)
- Freshly ground black pepper, optional (a pinch)
Instructions
- Make sure your egg yolk is at room temperature. Pour the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice into a tall container.
- Place the immersion blender at the bottom of the container and turn it on. Keep it steady for about 10 seconds while the mixture begins to thicken.
- With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the oil over 1 to 2 minutes to avoid breaking the mayo.
- Once all the oil is added, slowly lift the blender up and down through the mixture to incorporate any remaining oil and ensure an even, creamy texture.
- Add salt to taste and a pinch of black pepper if desired. Blend quickly to mix.
- Check consistency; if too thin, blend a little longer or add a tiny bit more oil.
- Transfer to a clean jar and refrigerate. Keep for up to one week.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for best emulsification. Add oil slowly to prevent breaking. If mayo breaks, rescue by whisking broken mayo into a fresh egg yolk. Experiment with flavors like garlic, herbs, or spices after blending.
