Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe

French · Condiment · 10 min total

Rich, creamy, and far superior to store-bought, this classic homemade mayonnaise comes together in minutes with an immersion blender.

Ingredients

• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup neutral oil (such as avocado or grapeseed)

Instructions

1. In a tall, narrow jar or the cup of an immersion blender, combine the egg, lemon juice, mustard, and salt.
2. Pour the oil on top and let it settle for 30 seconds.
3. Place the immersion blender at the bottom of the jar and blend on high without lifting for about 20 seconds, until the mixture emulsifies and turns creamy.
4. Slowly lift the blender to incorporate any remaining oil at the top, blending until thick and smooth.

Tips

• All ingredients must be at room temperature for proper emulsification.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
