Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe
Mayonnaise is a versatile condiment that can elevate the flavor of many dishes, from sandwiches to salads and beyond.
Ingredients
- 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.
