Description
A simple and creamy homemade mayonnaise that elevates any dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 cup neutral oil (like canola or grapeseed)
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh lemon juice (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- In a tall, narrow container, combine the egg, Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar.
- Using an immersion blender, mix the ingredients on high speed for about 10 seconds until well combined.
- With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the oil, starting with just a few drops and gradually increasing to a thin stream.
- Continue blending until the mayonnaise thickens and emulsifies, which will take about 1-2 minutes.
- Add salt and lemon juice to taste, blending briefly to combine.
- Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean jar and refrigerate immediately.
Notes
For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature and add the oil slowly to avoid breaking the mayonnaise.
