How To Make Mayonnaise in 3 Steps!
Did you run out of mayonnaise but don't have time to go to the store? This recipe is perfect for when you need mayonnaise in a pinch! With just 6 ingredients and 3 simple steps, you will have perfect homemade mayonnaise!
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp distilled white vinegar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- About 1 cup of olive oil
Instructions
- Start by setting one egg on the counter until it is at room temperature. This will help with the consistency of the mayonnaise.
- Once the egg is at room temperature, crack it into a mixing bowl. Using the immersion blender, froth the egg for 10-15 seconds. Add the Dijon mustard, salt, lemon juice, and vinegar, and mix with the immersion blender.
- Slowly add the olive oil 1 TB at a time. (Trust me on this one...I have had liquid mayonnaise from adding the olive oil all at once.) Add 1 TB of olive oil at a time, while continuously blending with your immersion blender. You should slowly start to see the color and consistency change. *It may not be as thick as normal mayonnaise from the store, but it will thicken a little but once placed in the fridge.
- Enjoy! Store in the refrigerator for up to one week!
Notes
- Do not add all of the olive oil at once. I have tried and failed many times. The best method is to do 1 TB at a time.
- A room temperature egg is key! It also helps to have your other cold ingredients at room temperature, if you can.
