Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Safflower oil
- 1 teaspoon Water
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt. Whisk together until smooth and fully combined.
Combine the olive oil and safflower oil in a measuring cup with a spout for easy pouring.
While whisking continuously, begin adding the oil mixture to the egg yolk mixture drop by drop. This step is crucial to start the emulsion process and prevent separation.
Once the mixture thickens slightly, you can begin adding the oil in a thin, steady stream while continuing to whisk vigorously.
After all the oil is incorporated, add the teaspoon of water to adjust the consistency, whisking until smooth and glossy.
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate immediately. It can be stored for up to 1 week.
