Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 20 grams Whey protein isolate
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, particularly the egg yolks, to facilitate better emulsion.
In a large mixing bowl or blender, add the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt. Whisk or blend at low speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the whey protein isolate to the egg mixture. Blend or whisk until the protein is fully dissolved and incorporated into the egg mixture. This ensures the mayo will have an even consistency.
While continuously whisking or blending, very slowly begin adding the olive oil. Start with just a few drops at a time, then gradually increase to a thin, steady stream. This is crucial for creating a stable emulsion.
Continue whisking or blending until all the olive oil is fully incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, you can adjust the consistency by adding 1-2 tablespoons of water.
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if necessary.
Transfer the mayonnaise into a clean jar or an airtight container and refrigerate. It will thicken further once chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
