    🥣Equipment

    To make this no-fail mayonnaise recipe, you will need the following equipment:

    • Slim jar: You will need a slim jar that is slightly wider than your hand blender. The jar should be able to comfortably hold all the ingredients without splattering or mess.
    • Hand blender or immersion blender: A hand blender is essential for blending the ingredients and creating the creamy consistency of the mayonnaise. Make sure the blender can fit into the jar and reach all the way to the bottom for effective blending.
    • Lid or cover: You will need a lid or cover for the jar to store the mayonnaise in the refrigerator after preparation. This will help keep the mayonnaise fresh for future use.

    With these tools at hand, you can confidently prepare this no-fail mayonnaise recipe and enjoy its delicious homemade taste.

    📝The Ingredients

    The ingredients needed for this no-fail mayonnaise recipe are simple and commonly found in most kitchens. Here's a breakdown of each ingredient:

    • Eggs: Whole raw eggs are used in this recipe, eliminating the need for separating the yolk and white. This saves time and makes the preparation process easier.
    • Garlic cloves: Garlic cloves are used to add a delightful hint of garlic flavor to the mayo. For garlic lovers, you can increase the amount or even roast the garlic beforehand to enhance its taste.
    • Dijon mustard: Dijon mustard serves two key roles in this recipe. Firstly, it adds a tangy and slightly spicy flavor to the mayo. Secondly, it acts as an emulsifier, ensuring the mayo remains stable and doesn't separate. Feel free to explore different mustard varieties, like honey mustard, to customize the flavor to your liking.
    • Salt and pepper: These basic seasonings are essential for enhancing the overall taste of the mayo, providing a balanced flavor profile.
    • Sunflower oil: Sunflower oil is the recommended oil for this recipe due to its mild flavor that doesn't overpower the other ingredients. However, you can try other oils as long as they have a neutral taste to let the flavors of the mayo shine. It's important to use an oil that you enjoy the flavor of, as it plays a significant role in the overall taste of the mayonnaise.

    By using these simple yet flavorful ingredients, you can create a delicious homemade mayonnaise that surpasses store-bought versions. Enjoy the fresh and customizable taste of this no-fail mayo in your favorite dishes and recipes.

    🧂Variations

    This mayonnaise recipe is only the base for a simple mayonnaise. However, you can always switch it up and make it more interesting.

    • Herb-infused Twist: Add a touch of freshness by incorporating chopped herbs into the finished mayo. Dill, basil, or parsley can elevate the flavor and provide a vibrant herbal note.
    • Curry Mayo: Infuse your mayo with exotic flavors by substituting the salt and pepper with a sprinkle of curry powder. This will give your mayo a delightful twist with warm, aromatic spices.
    • Pesto Mayo: Simply add a dollop of pesto on top of the mustard and mix it in. The combination of the tangy mustard and vibrant pesto will create a delightful, flavorful mayo.
    • Creamy Garlic Delight: Boost the garlic flavor by incorporating roasted garlic cloves into the mayo. Roasting the garlic beforehand adds a mellower and sweeter taste to the mayo. Make sure the garlic is cold or else you risk cooking the egg!
    • Zesty Citrus Burst: Enhance the mayo with a pop of citrus by stirring in some freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice. The bright acidity will add a refreshing tang to your mayo.
    • Smoky Sensation: For a smoky twist, mix in a pinch of smoked paprika or chipotle powder. This will impart a subtle smokiness that pairs wonderfully with sandwiches and grilled foods.
    • Mustard Medley: Experiment with different mustard varieties to create unique flavor profiles. Try whole grain mustard for added texture or spicy brown mustard for a kick of heat.
    • Spiced Up Heat: If you enjoy spicy mayo, consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper, hot sauce, or a sprinkle of chili flakes. Adjust the amount according to your preferred level of spiciness.

    These variations provide a range of exciting flavors to experiment with, allowing you to tailor the mayo to your taste preferences and create deliciously customized condiments for your dishes.

    🥄Storage

    To ensure the freshness and quality of your homemade mayonnaise, it is important to store it properly. After preparing the mayo, simply seal the jar with a lid and refrigerate it. Since this recipe uses fresh, raw eggs, it is recommended to consume the mayo within 1 to a maximum of 2 days. While the limited shelf life may be a downside, the recipe yields just enough mayo to enjoy for a day with your family. So, savor the creamy goodness while it's at its freshest and relish in the homemade taste that makes this mayonnaise truly exceptional.

    💭Frequently asked questions

    Q: Can I use a different type of oil instead of sunflower oil?

    A: Yes, you can experiment with other oils, such as canola oil, avocado oil, or light olive oil. Just ensure that the oil has a neutral flavor to let the other ingredients shine.

    Q: Can I use store-bought minced garlic instead of fresh garlic cloves?

    A: While fresh garlic cloves provide the best flavor, you can use store-bought minced garlic as a convenient substitute. Keep in mind that the intensity of the garlic flavor may vary.

    Q: Can I use a regular blender instead of a hand blender?

    A: Yes, you can use a regular blender. Just make sure to gradually drizzle the oil into the blender while it's running to achieve the proper emulsion.

    Q: Can I make a vegan version of this mayo?

    A: I know for some it might be weird to use raw eggs in a recipe and eat it. If you do not want to do that my friend Freya from Sweeter Than Oats has an amazing vegan Mayonnaise

    Q: Can I make a larger batch of mayonnaise?

    A: Yes, you can double or triple the ingredients to make a larger batch. However, keep in mind the limited shelf life of the homemade mayo and consume it within 1 to 2 days.

    Q: Can you make this recipe ahead?

    You can totally make this mayo ahead. However, I would only recommend making it a few hours ahead. As it has fresh eggs in it the mayo won't stay good and fresh for long. See storage section for that.

    Q: Can I make this mayo without mustard?

    A :Mustard acts as an emulsifier and provides flavor, so omitting it may affect the stability and taste of the mayo. However, you can try substituting with a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice, but the results may vary.

    Q: Can I freeze the mayo for later use?

    A: Freezing mayonnaise can cause it to separate and change in texture, so it is not recommended. It's best to make a fresh batch when needed.
