At a Glance This Is What You Need To Make Whole Egg Mayonnaise

What Is The Best Oil To Use For Mayonnaise

Whole Egg Mayonnaise needs to be made with a neutral oil such as vegetable, canola, sunflower or grape seed. Using extra virgin olive oil which has a strong flavour taints the sauce, and results in a mayonnaise that’s too strong with the flavour of the oil.

The Trick To Make 30 Second Mayonnaise

This 30 second whole egg mayonnaise is a complete game changer. The trick is to have a stick (immersion) blender and a heavy duty glass jar that the head of the blender fits into snugly.

The size of the jar or vessel matters. If it is too big, you won’t get an emulsion. It’s the vortex action of the ingredients that emulsifies the oil and egg together. By moving the stick blender up and down a few times it incorporates all of the ingredients.

Voila.! 30 second homemade whole egg mayonnaise!

As Easy As 1, 2, 3, 4

1. Use a jar that the head of the stick blender barely fits into – see notes in recipe below
2. Place egg, lemon juice, mustard, oil, salt and pepper into the jar, then place the head of the blender so it touches the base of the jar
3. Turn blender on, and as the mayonnaise starts to emulsify slowly lift the blender
4. Continue with a slow up and down motion until all of the oil is emulsified

How To Make Mayo Without An Immersion Blender

You can of course make whole egg mayonnaise by hand, but expect a really good arm workout. You simply place the egg, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper into a bowl. Slowly trickle the oil in while vigorously whisking. Make sure that all of the oil has been incorporated before trickling in more oil. Continue whisking until all of the oil has been incorporated then season with salt and pepper.

You can use a small food processor or blender too. The trick with using either of these appliances is you will need to double up the recipe. The reason for this is there is not enough volume of the ingredients to spin around properly. The egg ends up splattered up the sides of the container before the oil starts to be incorporated.

Trickling in the oil also applies when making in a blender or food processor. Just remember to add the oil slowly and all should be well.

Why Does Mayonnaise Split

We have never had a fail with this method, however if your mayonnaise should split don’t panic. The emulsion can be brought back together again by adding a couple of tablespoons of hot water and continue whisking till it comes together.

Or, put an egg yolk into a small clean bowl and slowly add the split mayonnaise spoon by spoon, whisking continuously until it comes back together.

Mayonnaise needs patience in adding the oil if making by hand, using a blender, or food processor. It must be drizzled in slowly allowing the egg and oil to emulsify resulting in a rich, slightly tangy, custardy texture.

Mmmm, I can definitely get used to this afternoon cold drinks ritual under the Jacaranda tree, on the lovely soft grass with a cold beverage. It’s a dog’s life I overheard someone say. Not sure what that meant though. 😁
