🥄 Homemade Mayo That’s Better Than Store-Bought
Making mayonnaise at home takes just a few minutes and a handful of ingredients, yet the taste is unbeatable. It’s rich, smooth, and you can customize it to your liking.
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 cup (240 ml) neutral oil (sunflower, canola, or light olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (or white wine vinegar)
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- Optional: pinch of sugar or garlic powder for flavor
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prepare your tools
Use a tall jar or mixing container that fits your immersion blender (or a regular blender/food processor). - Add ingredients in order
Place the egg at the bottom, then add mustard, lemon juice, and salt. Finally, pour in the oil. - Blend
- If using an immersion blender: place it at the bottom of the jar, start blending, and slowly lift the blender upwards. Within seconds, the mixture will emulsify into a thick mayo.
- If using a regular blender: start blending on low while very slowly drizzling in the oil until the mixture thickens.
- Taste and adjust
Add more salt, lemon juice, or mustard depending on your taste. - Store
Transfer to a clean glass jar. Keep refrigerated and use within 1 week.
🌟 Tips & Variations
- For garlic mayo (aioli): add 1 minced garlic clove before blending.
- For herbed mayo: stir in chopped parsley, dill, or basil.
- For spicy mayo: mix in sriracha or chili flakes after blending.
- Always use room-temperature eggs for the best emulsion.
✅ In just 5 minutes, you’ll have a creamy, flavorful mayo that’s fresher, healthier, and tastier than store-bought!
