How to Make Easy Homemade Mayonnaise

  1. Using an electric mixer, blender, or food processor, beat the egg yolk until slightly thickened and pale yellow.
  2. Add the Dijon mustard and lemon juice. Blend until combined.
  3. 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!
  4. Continue blending until the mayonnaise is thick and creamy. If using a whisk, this step will require significant effort and patience.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Your homemade mayonnaise is ready! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
