How to Make Easy Homemade Mayonnaise
- Using an electric mixer, blender, or food processor, beat the egg yolk until slightly thickened and pale yellow.
- Add the Dijon mustard and lemon juice. Blend until combined.
- With the mixer running on low speed (or blender/food processor running), slowly drizzle in the oil in a thin, steady stream. This is key to emulsification!
- Continue blending until the mayonnaise is thick and creamy. If using a whisk, this step will require significant effort and patience.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Your homemade mayonnaise is ready! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
