One Minute Mayonnaise
This one minute mayo whips up into a dreamy, creamy emulsion, perfect for slathering on everything. And the magic happens with just a jar and an immersion blender, which means there's no need to haul out any heavy appliances or do a lot of dishes.
Equipment
- Immersion blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup extra-light-tasting olive oil* (see NOTE above)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a tall, wide-mouthed pint-size mason jar or similar container, combine the olive oil, egg, mustard, lemon juice, and salt. Let the ingredients settle while you plug in your immersion blender.
- Place an immersion blender in the liquid in the jar, directly over the egg yolk. You want the immersion blender to be at the bottom of your jar. This is very important. Do not attempt to plunge the immersion blender into the oil while it is running. You will not make mayo. Trust us. We’ve tried.
- Blend, without moving the blender, for 5 seconds to begin to emulsify the oil and egg, then very slowly move the blender up and down until the oil and egg are fully emulsified, about 30 seconds more.
☞ TESTER TIP: If your immersion blender has multiple speeds, use low speed for emulsifying your mayo.
- Taste, and add a dash more lemon juice, if desired. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
