Ingredients for Easy Homemade Mayonnaise
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbs prepared mustard
- 1 tbs fresh squeezed lemon juice
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
- 6 fl oz neutral tasting oil (vegetable, soybean, or avocado)
Directions for making Homemade Mayonnaise
In a tall, narrow container that is just bigger than the head of the immersion blender add the egg, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Place the immersion blender into the container, all the way to the bottom. The ingredients should be above the blades to properly emulsify the Mayonnaise. Gently pour the avocado oil into the container being careful not disturb the lower ingredients.
Activate the immersion blender to mix the lower level of ingredients.
Once the ingredients are blended together, slowly tilt the immersion blender and begin incorporating the oil into the mixture. The emulsion should begin to form. Slowly lift the immersion blender and continue incorporating the oil into the emulsion. Continue blending until all the oil is incorporated.
Place mayonnaise into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
