Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 Whole Egg, room temperature
- 2 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
- 1 cup Avocado Oil (or any neutral flavored oil)
- 1 tsp Vinegar, optional (white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, etc.)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg: Bring the egg to room temperature by leaving it out for about 30 minutes. If you’re short on time, submerge the egg in lukewarm water for a few minutes to quickly warm it up, which helps ensure proper emulsification.
- Add Ingredients to Jar: Using a jar compatible with your immersion blender—either the one provided or a tall, skinny wide-mouth mason jar—add the egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and optional vinegar. Pour the avocado oil on top carefully and let it sit for a few seconds to allow the oil to separate and float on top of the other ingredients.
- Emulsify with Immersion Blender: Place the immersion blender at the bottom of the jar firmly, and blend on high speed for about 20 seconds. As emulsification begins at the bottom, gradually move the blender up and down until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a smooth and creamy mayonnaise.
- Finish and Store: Once the mayonnaise is fully emulsified and thickened, remove the immersion blender, stir the mixture, and transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container. Store it immediately in the refrigerator where it will keep fresh for up to 7 days. Avoid freezing to preserve texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use a fresh, room-temperature egg for best emulsification and safety.
- You can substitute avocado oil with any neutral-flavored oil such as grapeseed or light olive oil.
- Adjust lemon juice and vinegar amounts to taste for acidity.
- Do not freeze homemade mayonnaise as it breaks the emulsion causing separation.
- Consume within 7 days and keep refrigerated to maintain freshness and safety.
