Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the vegetable oil, a few drops at a time, while whisking constantly to emulsify the mixture. Continue adding oil slowly and whisk thoroughly to ensure a stable emulsion.
Once half of the vegetable oil has been incorporated and the mixture has thickened, you can start adding the oil in a thin, steady stream, whisking all the while.
Once the vegetable oil is fully incorporated, slowly add the olive oil in the same manner, whisking continuously.
Whisk in the white vinegar and season with white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the mayo sauce to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. Mayo can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
