Homemade Mayonnaise

I first saw mayonnaise made like this by Matt Preston on Masterchef, it was practically life changing.  I had never given making mayonnaise a go, it was always in the too hard basket, but as always Matt Preston has the ability to find a simple solution and this really is fool proof.  (as long as you don’t break the egg yolk!)

Once you have mastered this Basic Mayonnaise you can start making all those other delicious sides and dips you usually find when eating out, such as Aioli and Caesar Dressing.

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 350ml light extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Crack the egg into a small bowl, then pour into the base of a stick blender canister, making sure the yolk doesn’t break.

Carefully add the Dijon Mustard, salt and lemon juice, all the while not breaking the yolk.

Slowly pour in the oil, then insert the stick blender, making sure the blades completely cover the yolk.

Blend until you see creamy mayonnaise forming around the stick blender head. Slowly bring the blender up through the oil so the mayo comes together. Then push the blender back down to incorporate all the oil.

Notes

This will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
