Basic Mayonnaise

Recipe Summary

prep: 5 mins

total: 5 mins

Yield: Makes 1 1/3 cups

Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

2 large egg yolks

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 cup vegetable oil

Coarse salt and ground pepper

      Cook's Notes

If the mayonnaise separates after the oil is added, the mixture has broken. To bring it to a creamy state, add an egg yolk and 1 teaspoon tepid water to a clean bowl, and slowly add the broken mayonnaise while whisking constantly. Then, whisk in 1/4 cup more oil.

      Variations

Try these flavor combinations: Red-Pepper Mayonnaise, Garlic Mayonnaise, Herb Mayonnaise, Tartar Mayonnaise, and Caesar Mayonnaise.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

Place egg yolks in a food processor. (To avoid using raw eggs, substitute yolks from pasteurized eggs.)

Add mustard and lemon juice. Pulse ingredients until well combined.

With motor running, add oil in a slow, steady stream (mixture should become thick and emulsified). Season with salt and pepper.

Refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 1 week.

                I used to snicker to myself - who would MAKE mayo? - until my jar was empty and I wanted to make an egg salad sandwich. With simple ingredients already on hand I decided to give it a whirl in my Cuisi mini prep. How easy! Now I'll snicker to myself - who would BUY mayo?
