Since posting this recipe for mayonnaise, a few frequently asked questions have come up, so I’m going to do my best to answer them here:ĭo I have to use raw eggs to make mayonnaise? Eggs are essential for making mayonnaise. To fix broken mayonnaise, add about 1 teaspoon of mustard to a bowl then use a whisk to slowly beat the broken mayonnaise, bit by bit, into the mustard until it becomes emulsified and creamy again.Īnother trick is to add an egg yolk to a large bowl and slowly use a whisk to beat the broken mayo, bit by bit, into the yolk. While we have never had this particular recipe for mayonnaise break on us, if it happens to you don’t fret! You really should be able to fix it. The recipe we’ve shared tries to prevent this a few ways: we use a whole egg, which adds a little more liquid to the mix, mustard acts as an emulsifier from the get-go and we are careful to stream our oil in slowly.

When making mayonnaise, the worst, but not unfixable, thing that can happen to you is that the mixture breaks, leaving you with a curdled mess. Fresh herbs, roasted garlic, chipotle, Sriracha or curry powder are all amazing options, as well. I almost always add a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten things up a little. I love this classic mayonnaise as-is, but love it even more when I make it my own. The mayonnaise is done! Thick and so creamy. For the best mayonnaise results, add the oil slowly very slowly. Taste the mayonnaise and adjust with additional salt and vinegar or lemon juice. If you were to dump it all in at once, you’d have mayonnaise soup! Adding the oil slowly is really important. S lowly add the oil, in tiny drops, until about a quarter of the oil has been added.
