Description

This classic homemade mayonnaise, often referred to as Mayonnaise Lurie, transforms simple pantry staples into a luxurious condiment. The base is built on fresh egg yolks and a robust Dijon mustard, which not only adds a sharp, tangy flavor but also helps stabilize the emulsion. Slowly whisking in vegetable oil creates a thick, velvety texture that far surpasses store-bought alternatives. A pinch of sugar balances the acidity, while salt and pepper enhance the depth of flavor. Perfect for elevating sandwiches, salads, or as a dipping sauce for fried foods, this recipe is a testament to the power of simple ingredients prepared with care.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Separate the eggs, discarding the whites, and place the yolks in a large mixing bowl along with the Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, sugar, and paprika.
  2. Whisk the egg yolks and seasonings vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  3. While whisking constantly and vigorously, begin adding the vegetable oil drop by drop to start the emulsion process.
  4. Once the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify, you can slowly increase the flow of oil to a thin, steady stream, continuing to whisk continuously.
  5. Continue adding the remaining oil and whisking until the mayonnaise is thick, creamy, and glossy.
  6. Taste the mayonnaise and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.
  7. Transfer the finished mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
