Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Vegetable oil (or light-tasting oil)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (or white vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
1. Choose a tall, narrow container just wide enough to fit your stick blender (a mason jar works perfectly).
2. Add the egg into the container, ensuring the yolk stays intact.
3. Pour in the vegetable oil on top of the egg. Do not stir or mix.
4. Add lemon juice (or white vinegar), Dijon mustard, and salt on top of the oil.
5. Insert the stick blender down to the bottom of the container, making sure the blades are in full contact with the egg yolk.
6. Turn on the stick blender at the low speed setting and hold it steady at the bottom for about 10-15 seconds as the mayonnaise begins to emulsify.
7. Once you see the mixture thickening and turning white, slowly tilt the blender and move it up and down to incorporate any remaining oil.
8. Blend until the mixture is fully emulsified and has reached the creamy consistency of mayonnaise.
9. Taste the mayonnaise and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
10. Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep for up to one week.
