Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Mayonnaise Base
  • 2 large egg yolks fresh, organic for best results
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard can substitute with yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar or substitute with lemon juice
  • 1 cup vegetable oil light olive oil for a milder taste
  • 1/2 tsp salt adjust to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Make sure your egg yolks are at room temperature to help the mayonnaise emulsify better.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar. Whisk these ingredients together until smooth.
  3. Slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil while continuously whisking. Start with just a few drops, and as it thickens, you can pour in the oil more steadily.
  4. Once all the oil is mixed in and the mayonnaise is thick, add salt to taste. You can also add more vinegar or mustard if you want a stronger flavor.
  5. Keep whisking until the mixture is fluffy and creamy.

Notes

Store your homemade mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about one week. Check for freshness before using. Use fresh ingredients, ensure all are at room temperature, and consider using a hand mixer or food processor for ease.
