Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp sugar
• 1 cup neutral-flavored oil (such as canola or vegetable oil)
• Lemon juice (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

 

• Gather all your ingredients and ensure the egg is at room temperature. Having ingredients at the same temperature helps with emulsification.
• In a food processor or blender, add the egg, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and sugar. Blend on low speed for about 20 seconds until well combined.
• With the food processor or blender running on low speed, begin to slowly drizzle the oil into the mixture. Start with just a few drops at a time and gradually increase to a thin, steady stream. This slow addition of oil is crucial for proper emulsification.
• Continue blending for about 1-2 minutes after all the oil has been added. The mixture will thicken and become creamy, resembling store-bought mayonnaise.
• Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor if desired.
• Transfer the homemade mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
