Description
A quick, creamy homemade mayonnaise made in 10 minutes with simple pantry ingredients, perfect for sandwiches, salads, dips, and burgers.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 cup neutral oil, such as sunflower, canola, or vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and black pepper into a tall jar or mixing cup.
- Slowly pour the oil over the other ingredients.
- Place an immersion blender at the bottom of the jar and blend without moving it for about 15 seconds.
- Once the mixture starts thickening, slowly move the blender upward to fully combine the mayonnaise.
- Continue blending until the mayonnaise is smooth, thick, and creamy.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Transfer to a clean jar and refrigerate before serving.
Notes
- Use room-temperature ingredients to help the mayonnaise thicken properly.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Keep chilled at all times because it contains fresh egg.
- Do not reheat mayonnaise, as it can separate and become oily.
- Add garlic, herbs, lime juice, smoked paprika, or hot sauce for flavor variations.
