Scratched Mayonnaise

Servings: 2 cups
Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tbs Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbs white Balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • ~1 1/4 cup light oil such as canola.
  • ~1/4 extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Whisk everything but the oil. In a 1.5 quart bowl, whisk together the mustard, salt, egg, and vinegar.
  • While whisking, drip in 2 to 6 drops of olive oil.
  • Add 10 drops olive oil. While whisking like mad, add a bit more olive oil.
  • Drizzle in the canola oil. Are you whisking? Good. Now slowly drizzle in about a cup of canola oil. Start slowly at first, and gradually increase the rate of flow. NEVER stop whisking while you add the oil.
  • Add more oil. We added about 1/3 cup split evenly between olive and canola oil.
  • Again, drizzle it in while whisking. Now the mayonnaise should really thicken up.
