How to Make Mayonnaise

  1. Combine egg yolks, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a tall, narrow bowl or blender.
  2. Using an immersion blender (or regular blender), begin whisking on low speed while slowly drizzling in the oil. The key is to incorporate the oil very gradually to create a stable emulsion.
  3. Once the mixture begins to thicken, increase the speed slightly (if using an immersion blender, gently move it up and down) and continue adding the oil until it is fully emulsified and has a creamy consistency.
  4. Stir in the lemon juice or vinegar.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
  6. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. This will also help the mayonnaise thicken further. Enjoy!
