How to Make Magic Mayonnaise

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl: 1 large egg yolk, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 3/4 cup of light tasting oil (like canola or grapeseed).
  2. Using an immersion blender or stand mixer, begin blending on low speed, slowly increasing as it emulsifies
  3. Continue blending until the mixture thickens into a creamy mayonnaise, about 2-3 minutes. If using a whisk, whisk constantly and vigorously.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt and pepper to your preference.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mayonnaise to fully set.
  6. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
