Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard)
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (or lemon juice)
- 1 cup vegetable oil (or light olive oil)
- Salt to taste (start with ¼ teaspoon)
- Pinch of sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the Ingredients: Add the egg, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and sugar (if using) to the blender or food processor. Blend on low for a few seconds to combine.
- Slowly Add the Oil: With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the oil in a thin stream. This is crucial to creating the creamy emulsion. Let the oil fully incorporate before adding more.
- Blend Until Smooth: Once all the oil has been added, blend for 10-15 seconds until the mayonnaise is thick and smooth.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste your mayo and adjust seasoning by adding more vinegar or mustard for tanginess, or more salt for flavor.
- Store and Serve: Transfer the mayo to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 1-2 weeks.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients: Make sure the egg and oil are at room temperature to help the mayo emulsify properly.
- Go slow with the oil: Add the oil in a thin stream to prevent the mayo from separating.
- Taste and adjust: Always taste your mayo before storing it. You can adjust the flavors by adding more mustard, vinegar, or a little more salt.
