Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup avocado oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, which helps create a smoother emulsion and prevents separation.
- Crack the large egg into the clean stand mixer bowl, making sure no shell fragments are present.
- Add Dijon mustard and lemon juice to the egg, which will help stabilize the emulsion and provide initial flavor.
- Using the whisk attachment, begin mixing the egg, mustard, and lemon juice on medium-low speed until well combined and slightly frothy.
- With the mixer running, very slowly begin drizzling the avocado oil in a thin, steady stream. This gradual incorporation is crucial for creating a stable mayonnaise.
- Continue adding oil slowly, allowing each addition to fully incorporate before adding more. This process should take 3-4 minutes.
- Once all oil is added, increase mixer speed to medium-high and whisk for an additional 30-45 seconds until the mixture is thick and creamy.
- Taste and add salt incrementally, mixing between additions until desired seasoning is achieved.
- Transfer mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate. The mayonnaise will keep for 5-7 days when stored properly.
Tips
- • Temperature is crucial: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to prevent separation and achieve a smooth emulsion. • Drizzle oil SLOWLY: The key to perfect mayonnaise is incorporating oil gradually and steadily - patience is your best friend here. • Use a clean, dry mixing bowl to prevent any potential breaking of the emulsion. • If your mayonnaise seems too thin, continue whisking - it will thicken as it incorporates air. • For extra flavor variations, experiment with adding garlic, herbs, or different mustard types. • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 5-7 days for optimal freshness. • Always use fresh, high-quality eggs from a trusted source when making raw egg preparations.
