Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Neutral-flavored oil (e.g., sunflower oil, canola oil, or light olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice or white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Optional - Garlic powder or paprika for flavoring
Instructions
Crack the egg into a tall, narrow container or jar that fits the head of your immersion blender. Ensure the egg yolk does not break before blending.
Add the oil, lemon juice or vinegar, Dijon mustard, and salt on top of the egg. If using optional seasonings, add them now as well.
Place the immersion blender into the container so that it sits against the bottom. Turn the blender on and hold it steady for about 10-15 seconds to allow the emulsion process to begin.
Once the bottom of the mixture turns into mayonnaise, slowly lift the immersion blender upward while blending, incorporating the remaining oil into the emulsion.
Blend until all the ingredients are fully combined and you have a thick, creamy mayonnaise. This should take about 1 minute in total.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more lemon juice/vinegar for tanginess or a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Enjoy it as a spread, dip, or dressing!
