Ingredients
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 cup neutral oil sunflower or vegetable
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare Ingredients
- Ensure your egg is at room temperature. Measure mustard, vinegar or lemon juice and oil. This ensures smooth blending and prevents mayonnaise from splitting.
Start the Emulsion
- In a bowl, whisk egg and mustard together. Add vinegar or lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy. This forms the base for the mayonnaise.
Add Oil Slowly
- Begin adding oil drop by drop while whisking continuously. Once the mixture starts to thicken, you can add oil in a thin stream. Constant whisking is key.
Season the Mayonnaise
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Taste and adjust acidity with more lemon juice if needed. The seasoning balances the richness of the mayonnaise.
Check Consistency
- The mayonnaise should be thick and creamy. If too thin, continue whisking and adding a little more oil slowly until desired texture.
Store the Mayonnaise
- Transfer mayonnaise to a clean jar or container. Cover and refrigerate. Use within 3–4 days for best freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Use room temperature egg for smooth emulsification
- Add oil slowly to prevent splitting
- Whisk constantly for thick, creamy texture
- Use fresh lemon juice for bright flavor
- Taste and adjust salt and acidity at the end
