Instructions
Step 1
Gather all your ingredients before starting the mayonnaise recipe. This includes the egg, vegetable oil, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and mustard. Make sure everything is fresh for the best flavor.
Step 2
Place the egg in a tall container suitable for immersion blending. Pour in the vegetable oil, followed by the lemon juice, sugar, salt, and mustard. It’s essential that the egg remains below the whisk of the blender for optimal emulsification.
Now, immerse the blender and keep it at the bottom of the container. Avoid raising the blender until the mixture starts to thicken. This process ensures the right consistency.
Step 3
Once you notice the mayonnaise starting to thicken, you can lift the blender slowly. Move it up and down gently to blend all ingredients thoroughly. Continue blending until you reach a creamy, smooth texture.
Step 4
Your homemade mayonnaise is now ready! Transfer it to a clean jar and refrigerate. It should be used within a week for the best taste. Enjoy your creamy mayonnaise on sandwiches, salads, or any dish you desire!

Faq
- What if my mayonnaise doesn’t thicken?
If your mayonnaise isn’t thickening, ensure your blender is properly submerged to allow the egg to emulsify. Give it more time, and check the speed settings on your blender.
- How long can I store homemade mayonnaise?
Store your homemade mayonnaise in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Always smell it before using it to ensure freshness.
- How do I adjust the flavor of my mayonnaise?
You can easily customize the flavor by adding ingredients like garlic, herbs, or even spices. Experiment and find the flavor that you enjoy the most!
- Can I make mayonnaise with olive oil instead of vegetable oil?
Yes! Using olive oil will give your mayonnaise a rich flavor. Just keep in mind that extra virgin olive oil can have a strong taste, so adjust according to your preferences.
- What’s the best way to prevent curdling?
Always add the oil very slowly at first, and ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This will help the emulsification process and prevent curdling.
- Is it possible to make mayonnaise without a blender?
Yes! You can use a whisk and a bowl to manually whisk the ingredients together, but it requires more effort and patience. It's a great workout too!
