Make rich, creamy homemade mayonnaise from scratch in under five minutes using a simple immersion blender. This recipe guarantees a stable emulsion every time, giving you a superior, fresh condiment without preservatives.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice or white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup neutral oil (such as avocado oil or light olive oil)

Instructions

  1. Place the egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice (or vinegar), and salt into a tall, narrow container, such as the blending cup that came with your immersion blender.
  2. Pour the entire cup of oil over the top of the other ingredients. Do not stir.
  3. Insert the head of the immersion blender all the way to the bottom of the container, ensuring it covers the egg yolk.
  4. Turn the blender on high speed and keep it steady at the bottom for about 10 to 15 seconds until you see the mayonnaise start to form and thicken.
  5. Slowly begin to lift the immersion blender upward, moving it just enough to incorporate the remaining oil at the top into the emulsion.
  6. Continue blending until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture is thick and creamy. This should take less than one minute total.
  7. Taste the homemade mayonnaise and adjust salt or add a small splash of lemon juice for extra tang if desired.
  8. Transfer the finished mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for the best chance of a successful emulsion.
  • If your mayonnaise separates, place the separated mixture back into the jar, add one teaspoon of warm water, and re-blend with the immersion blender until it comes back together.
  • This fresh homemade mayonnaise keeps well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
