Easy Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe: Ready in Just 5 Minutes

  • Preparation: 5 mins
  • Cooking time: none
  • Complexity: easy

Ingredients

  • 1 egg at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • Drizzle of wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic
  • Oil (as needed)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Separate the egg white from the yolk and place the yolk in a bowl. Add the mustard, a drizzle of vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Pierce the peeled garlic clove with a fork, then whisk the ingredients together in one consistent direction for even emulsification.

Gradually drizzle in the oil in a thin, continuous stream while whisking nonstop. The mayonnaise will thicken within seconds. Use as much oil as needed for your desired consistency.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
