Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon Water (optional for consistency adjustment)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt until well combined and slightly frothy.
While whisking constantly, begin adding the oil one drop at a time. It's crucial to go very slowly at this stage to ensure the emulsion forms properly.
Once the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify, you can start adding the oil in a very thin, steady stream, whisking vigorously as you pour.
After all the oil has been incorporated, the mixture should have the consistency of a thick mayonnaise. If it is too thick, whisk in the optional teaspoon of water to thin it out slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch more salt or a extra squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
Transfer the finished mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
