Easy In A Minute Super Thick Mayonnaise#SuperClubSaturday

In: Homemade, Jams & Sauces, Mayonnaise

This super thick mayonnaise is made in one minute! Thick, creamy and super easy to make, homemade mayonnaise is delicious. This recipe is no fail recipe! The color is yellow because I used American mustard paste, there is no difference in taste.

Ingredients
¾ Cup Extra Light Olive Oil
1 Egg Yolk
2 Teaspoons Dijon mustard - I used American Mustard
1½ Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
½ Teaspoon Level Lemon Juice
¼ Teaspoon Sea Salt or to taste

Method

Place the ingredients into a pint-sized, wide-mouth mason jar. Insert the immersion blender all the way to the bottom of the jar. Start blending and leave the blender at the bottom for 10-20 seconds, allowing the mixture to start emulsifying.

Once the ingredients are incorporated you see it thicken at the bottom then keep processing immersion blender pulling it up and down until completely blended.

Use a spatula to stir the mayo vigorously after blending to smooth it out.

Store in the fridge for 4-5 days.

My Notes

If you like a strong mustard taste then increase it by ½ teaspoon.
