Instructions:

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and speed. You’ll need an immersion blender (also known as a stick blender or hand blender) and a tall, narrow container that the head of your immersion blender fits snugly into. Think of a mason jar, a wide mouth glass, or the beaker that often comes with your immersion blender. This narrow shape is crucial for creating the perfect emulsion quickly.

1. Assemble the Base: Carefully crack the large egg into the bottom of your tall, narrow container. Try to get the yolk as centered as possible. Now, add the lemon juice (or white vinegar), the Dijon mustard, and the salt. If you’re using it, add a tiny pinch of white pepper for a subtle peppery note. Don’t stir anything at this point. The magic happens when the blender does the work.

2. Introduce the Oil: Gently and slowly pour the entire cup of neutral-flavored oil over the egg mixture. You want to pour it in one go, on top of everything else. Resist the urge to mix or stir. The oil should sit on top of the egg and other ingredients. The key here is to let the oil layer remain distinct for now. This layering is essential for the immersion blender to work its magic and create that stable emulsion.

3. The Immersion Blender Technique: Now, take your immersion blender and carefully place its head into the bottom of the container, directly on top of the egg yolk. Make sure the head of the blender is fully submerged and resting on the bottom. It’s important to have a good seal against the bottom of the container. This will prevent air from getting incorporated too early and disrupting the emulsification process.

4. The One-Minute Emulsification: With the immersion blender firmly in place at the bottom, turn it on to its highest speed. You’ll immediately see a thick, creamy mayonnaise start to form at the very bottom of the container. Keep the blender running at the bottom for about 15-20 seconds. You’ll notice the mixture at the base turning opaque and creamy. Once you see a good amount of mayo forming, begin extract to slowly and gradually lift the immersion blender upwards. As you lift, continue to blend, incorporating the oil from the top layer into the emulsified mixture at the bottom. This upward motion should take another 20-30 seconds. You’re essentially pulling the oil down into the emulsion.

5. Final Blending and Adjustment: Continue lifting and blending until all the oil has been incorporated and you have a thick, fluffy, and beautifully emulsified mayonnaise. This entire blending process, from starting the blender at the bottom to lifting it all the way up, should take no more than 60 seconds. If after the first minute, you still see some oil on top or the mayo isn’t quite as thick as you’d like, simply repeat the process of placing the blender at the bottom and slowly lifting it up. You might need another 10-15 seconds of blending. Once you’ve achieved your desired consistency, taste and adjust the salt and lemon juice if necessary. A little more salt can bring out the flavors, and a touch more lemon juice adds brightness.

Your one-minute mayonnaise is now ready to be used! Transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It will last for about a week. Enjoy the incredible flavor and silky texture of homemade mayo, made faster and easier than you ever thought possible!

Frequently Asked Questions about One Minute Mayo:

Can I make this recipe without an immersion blender?

While an immersion blender is what makes this recipe truly “one minute,” you can achieve a similar result with a regular blender or a food processor. It might take slightly longer to reach the desired creamy consistency, but it’s definitely still achievable and will be far superior to store-bought!

How long does homemade mayonnaise last in the refrigerator?

Because this One Minute Mayo is made with fresh ingredients and no preservatives, it’s best enjoyed within 3-5 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Always check for any signs of spoilage before using.

What kind of oil is best to use for this recipe?

A neutral-flavored oil like canola, vegetable, or sunflower oil is generally recommended to allow the egg yolk and lemon juice flavors to shine through. However, you can also experiment with olive oil for a slightly different flavor profile, though be mindful that a strong olive oil might overpower the other ingredients.
