Ingredients

1 large egg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
0.75 cup light olive oil

Instructions

Gather all the necessary ingredients for your homemade mayonnaise.
Place the egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper into a large bowl or a tall container. Then, pour the oil carefully on top of the other ingredients.
Insert an immersion blender into the bowl or container, ensuring the blade rests at the bottom. Blend for approximately 15 seconds without moving the blender head. This allows the oil to slowly incorporate into the egg mixture and emulsify properly. Gradually raise the blender and continue blending until the mayonnaise reaches a thick and creamy consistency. Be careful not to over-blend.
Transfer the homemade mayonnaise to a clean jar or airtight container. Refrigerate until you're ready to use it, or for up to one week.
