Instructions
- Bring the egg and mustard to room temperature in advance.
- Mix egg and mustard with a stick blender (or mixer) and add the oil slowly in a thin stream. The mayonnaise should begin to thicken. Continue to mix until all the oil has been added and the mayonnaise has set.
- Add vinegar or lemon juice. Mix some more and season with salt and pepper. Taste, and adjust seasoning, and perhaps add more vinegar or lemon juice.
- Let the mayonnaise rest in the fridge before serving; this allows the flavor to develop and gives the mayonnaise time to thicken.
Tip!
Making seafood? Use lemon juice or white wine vinegar. Enjoying beef or cold cuts? Use red-wine vinegar. Want something neutral? Use half plain white vinegar, half lemon juice.
Homemade mayo keeps about 5 days in the refrigerator.
As a child I was taught by my grandmother that one egg yolk can bind as much as a whole quart (liter) of oil. In other words, if you want to make a bigger batch, just increase the amount of oil, mustard, spices and acid. You will not need more egg yolks if you keep the oil under a liter... and that's a lot of mayo!

Put all the ingredients into a tall jar. Put the bottom of the blender at the bottom of the jar and as it starts blending, slowly pull the blender up until it's all blended. Very quick and easy.
