Homemade Mayonnaise Immersion Blender (Printable)

Rich, creamy mayo made fast with an immersion blender. Fresh, tangy, and perfect for spreads and dips.

# What You Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 large egg, room temperature
02 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
03 - 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or lemon juice

→ Oil

04 - 1 cup neutral oil (such as sunflower, canola, or light olive oil)

→ Seasoning

05 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

# Directions:

01 - Combine egg, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar or lemon juice, fine sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper (if using) in a tall, narrow blending container.
02 - Pour the neutral oil gently on top of the other ingredients in the container.
03 - Position the immersion blender at the bottom of the container and activate, blending for approximately 10 seconds until emulsification occurs.
04 - Slowly raise and lower the blender to fully integrate all the oil, blending until the mixture becomes thick and smooth, about 30 seconds.
05 - Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as desired for optimal balance.
06 - Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean jar, seal tightly, and refrigerate. Use within 1 week for best quality.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Homemade mayo tastes shockingly better than anything from the store, and you control the flavor.
  • This recipe is done in minutes & leaves you with one less jar to buy or refrigerate—plus, it feels like a kitchen badge of honor.
02 -
  • If the mayo suddenly looks thin, don&apost panic—a slow blend and a second try almost always saves it.
  • Using cold eggs can be the silent saboteur; once I learned to let them warm up, the recipe never failed.
03 -
  • I always blend with the container barely bigger than the blender head—this keeps the emulsion tight and creamy.
  • A splash of lemon juice at the end brightens everything and takes store-bought mayo completely out of the running.
