Best Mayonnaise Recipes

BEST EVER HOMEMADE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Put first four ingredients in a food processor or blender, and buzz them for 30-40 seconds.
• With the motor still running, slowly add the oil in a thin stream (like string).
• When all the oil is incorporated, keep running the machine for another 10-20 seconds.
• Refrigerate the mayonnaise. If your eggs are ultra fresh, the mayonnaise can keep for two to three weeks.

MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a glass bowl, whisk together egg yolk and dry ingredients. Combine lemon juice and vinegar in a separate bowl then thoroughly whisk half into the yolk mixture. Start whisking briskly, then start adding the oil a few drops at a time until the liquid seems to thicken and lighten a bit, (which means you've got an emulsion on your hands). Once you reach that point you can relax your arm a little (but just a little) and increase the oil flow to a constant (albeit thin) stream. Once half of the oil is in add the rest of the lemon juice mixture.
• Continue whisking until all of the oil is incorporated. Leave at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours then refrigerate for up to 1 week.

EASY HOMEMADE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Place light olive oil, egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Use a hand-held immersion blender to blend mixture together, placing the blade directly on top of the egg yoke. Pull up the immersion blender slowly when fully emulsified, taking care not to over blend. Store in a tightly closed container; refrigerate until using.

HELLMANN'S (COPYCAT) MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Whisk the egg yolk by hand for 15 seconds.
• Combine vinegar, water, salt, sugar, and lemon juice in a small bowl or glass measuring cup.
• Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved.
• Add half of this solution to the egg yolk and whisk for another 15 seconds.
• Pour 1 cup of canola oil (or soybean oil) into a plastic squirt bottle.
• This bottle will allow you to dribble the oil into the egg yolk with one hand while whisking with the other.
• Squirt a few drops of oil into the yolk and whisk, and continue to add oil a little bit at a time while whisking non-stop.
• When you have used about half of the oil, your mayonnaise should be very thick.
• Add the remaining vinegar solution.
• Whisk.
• Now you can add the remaining oil in a steady stream while whisking until all of the oil has been added.
• Your mayonnaise should be thick and off-white in color.
• Put the mayonnaise into an old mayonnaise jar and seal it with a lid.
• Leave this out on your kitchen counter for 8 to 10 hours so that the vinegar and lemon juice can kill any potential bacteria in the egg yolk.
• Keep up to 2 weeks in your refrigerator.

BASIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Place egg yolks in a food processor. (To avoid using raw eggs, substitute yolks from pasteurized eggs.)
• Add mustard and lemon juice. Pulse ingredients until well combined.
• With motor running, add oil in a slow, steady stream (mixture should become thick and emulsified). Season with salt and pepper.
• Refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 1 week.

MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, salt and 1 teaspoon cold water until frothy. Whisking constantly, slowly dribble in the oil until mayonnaise is thick and oil is incorporated. When the mayonnaise emulsifies and starts to thicken, you can add the oil in a thin stream, instead of drop by drop.

BASIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Tip the egg yolks and mustard into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk together until completely combined. Whisking constantly, add a small drop of oil and whisk until completely combined, then add another drop and continue a drop at a time until the yolks and oil combine and start to thicken. Once you're confident the oil and eggs are coming together you can add the oil a bit more at a time, but be patient, as adding the oil too quickly will cause the mayonnaise to split and curdle.
• Once all the oil has been whisked into the eggs and you have a thick, spoonable mayonnaise, whisk in the vinegar or lemon juice and season to taste. Will keep in the fridge for two days.

HOMEMADE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Place the egg yolks in the bowl of the food processor and add the vinegar and mustard. Season with salt, to taste. Turn the machine on and VERY slowly start to drizzle in the oil. Drip, drip, drip until the mixture starts to look like mayonnaise, then a slow steady stream of oil can be added.

BEST MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs plus 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. (Th is will make peeling the eggs easier once they're cooked.) Bring the water to a boil.
• Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water. Simmer the eggs for 4 minutes, until soft boiled. Lift the eggs out of the water with a slotted spoon and immediately run under cold water. (This will stop the eggs from cooking in their own heat and will prevent a discoloration of the egg yolk that sometimes forms.)
• Crack the eggs on the counter and scoop them out into a food processor. Add the mustard and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Puree the eggs and, while the motor is running, slowly drizzle in the oil through the feed tube. The mayo will be super thick.
