Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.125 teaspoon White pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and salt until well combined and smooth.
Combine the vegetable oil and extra virgin olive oil in a measuring cup with a spout for easy pouring.
Start by adding the oil mixture to the egg mixture a few drops at a time, whisking constantly. This helps to incorporate the oil into the yolk without breaking the emulsion.
Increase the oil addition to a thin, steady stream once the initial oil is fully incorporated, whisking vigorously until all of the oil is emulsified and the mixture has thickened.
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or white pepper if necessary.
Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Enjoy your homemade mayonnaise on sandwiches, as a salad dressing, or as a dip.
