Artisan Mayonnaise Alchemy
Equipment
- 1 Immersion Blender
- 1 Tall Immersion Blender Cylinder jar or cup
Ingredients
- 1 large whole egg
- 1 cup oil (Olive or Avocado)
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon salt
- dash freshly ground pepper or cayenne
Instructions
- Begin by cracking the whole large egg into a tall immersion blender cylinder jar or cup, then mix. (Use a sufficiently tall cylinder for the immersion blender to prevent splattering during blending.)
- Add white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and a dash of black pepper or cayenne into the beaten egg. Blend for a few seconds to combine. Remove the immersion blender, allowing the egg mixture to settle for about a minute.
- Once the egg mixture has settled, pour the oil into it. Let it sit briefly once more, allowing the oil to separate from the other components.
- Once the oil has separated, swiftly insert the immersion blender entirely at the bottom of the cylinder jar or cup and do not move it.
- Next, activate the immersion blender while keeping it fixed at the bottom of the cylinder. Refrain from moving it until the mixture transforms into a creamy mayonnaise consistency. Exercise patience as this transformation may take a few minutes.
- As the mixture emulsifies and thickens, gently lift the immersion blender, thoroughly integrating the remaining liquids in the cylinder.
Notes
Important: It is imperative to refrain from altering the immersion blender's position prematurely, as doing so may impede proper emulsification, resulting in an undesired outcome.
Enjoy your luxurious homemade creamy mayonnaise as a spread of enhancement to diverse dishes and sandwiches!
