Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
- 1 tsp (5 g) kosher salt
- ½ tsp (2.5 mL) distilled vinegar
- ½ tsp (1 g) ground mustard
- 2 cups (480 mL / 16 fl oz) extra light olive oil
Instructions
- Preparation: Assemble room-temperature eggs, lemon juice, salt, vinegar, and ground mustard in a wide-mouth mason jar, creating a foundation for emulsification.
- Initial Blending: Position the immersion blender at the jar’s bottom, pulsing the mixture until it transforms into a smooth, creamy base, ensuring even incorporation of ingredients.
- Oil Infusion: Slowly stream olive oil while continuously blending, maneuvering the blender throughout the jar to create a homogeneous, silky texture that develops the classic mayonnaise consistency.
- Flavor Refinement: Taste and adjust seasoning, fine-tuning with additional salt or lemon juice to balance the creamy profile and elevate the overall flavor complexity.
- Storage and Preservation: Transfer the freshly crafted mayonnaise into a clean, sealed glass container, then refrigerate to stabilize the emulsion and maintain its pristine texture and taste.
Notes
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve smooth, perfect emulsification and prevent separation.
- Blender Technique: Position the immersion blender at the jar’s bottom and pulse gently, creating a stable base for consistent mayonnaise texture.
- Oil Streaming: Pour olive oil in a slow, thin stream while continuously blending to guarantee proper ingredient integration and creamy consistency.
- Storage Wisdom: Transfer mayonnaise to an airtight glass container and refrigerate promptly to maintain freshness and preserve delicate flavor profile.
