Homemade mayonnaise is a simple way to get your family to eat a healthy alternative to store-bought condiments that are filled with a bunch of chemicals and preservatives.
Ingredients for you Homemade Mayonnaise
All of the ingredients are items that most people will already have in the fridge or pantry. There are a couple of things you do need to keep in mind though:
- The egg must be at room temperature: If the egg that you use is too cold, this will make it much harder to get your mayonnaise to emulsify properly.
- The oil is your preference: Normally you want to use a light-tasting oil like grapeseed or avocado oil. Yes, you can use olive oil however, olive oil tends to have a very robust flavor that overpowers the mayonnaise.
What to do if you Homemade Mayonnaise Breaks
Do not worry if your mayonnaise breaks, this happens more often than you may think. If it does happen to break on you simply add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard and that will help it emulsify; if this doesn’t work you can also add an egg yolk, make sure you whisk it first.
Well, I hope you have enjoyed it, please let me know how it turned out for you.
Until Next Time,
God Bless.
