Whole Egg Mayonnaise Recipe Immersion Blender Mayo

HOMEMADE MAYONNAISE (IMMERSION BLENDER)

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a slender tall container.
• Place the immersion blender at the bottom of the container and ensure the blade reaches the egg. If the container is too wide and the blade doesn't reach the egg, this method will not work.
• Turn the immersion blender on and hold it still until the mixture at the bottom begins to thicken (emulsify).
• Once it starts to thicken, very slowly pull the immersion blender up to the top to thicken the rest of the mixture.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate immediately.

WHOLE EGG MAYONNAISE RECIPE (IMMERSION BLENDER MAYO)

Steps:

• Add egg, mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oil to the jar.
• Place the immersion blender in the container; it should sit on the bottom of the jar.
• Turn it on, keep it fixed there and count to 10. The mayo should start to emulsify. Slowly, begin moving the immersion blender up and down, counting to 10-15 again; it should not take much longer than that. The mayonnaise will now be fully emulsified, thick, and glossy. If it is not yet, blend for another 3-5 seconds or so.
• Remove the immersion blender from the jar and stir the mayo.
• Flavor: Adjust the taste with more salt, if necessary, lemon juice (1-2 teaspoons extra, to taste), and add other ingredients, if desired (See blog post for suggestions).

EASY HOMEMADE WHOLE EGG MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Measure all ingredients into a tall mixing cup.
• Insert the blender and process on high speed until mayonnaise forms, usually in half a minute. Move the blender up and down and in a circular motion to be sure that everything is fully mixed.
• Taste; if desired, adjust salt or lemon juice. If you feel the mayo is too thick, thin it by blending in very hot water one teaspoon at a time. If it's a bit thin, blend in a little more oil, a tablespoon or two at a time.
• Measure out the eggs, vinegar, mustard, salt, and white pepper into the bowl of a food processor. Blend on slow speed until well combined.
• Increase the speed to high and add the vegetable oil in a slow, continuous trickle through the feeder tube until the mayonnaise thickens. How much oil this takes depends on how large the eggs were.
• Taste the mayonnaise; adjust the seasoning and lemon juice or vinegar to taste. Briefly blend again to incorporate any additions.
• If you feel the mayonnaise is too thick, simply add hot water one teaspoon at a time with the motor running until the mayonnaise has the desired consistency.

WHOLE EGG MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In the container of a food processor or blender, combine the mustard powder, salt, eggs and vinegar. Set the food processor on medium speed and gradually drizzle in the oil while it runs. Transfer to a container with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

BLENDER MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, blend together the egg, lemon juice, mustard, fine sea salt, and freshly ground white or black pepper, blending until well combined. With the motor still running, add the oil in a very slow, thin, steady stream and blend until the dressing is thick and smooth. DO AHEAD: The mayonnaise can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, in an airtight container, up to 1 week.

MAYONNAISE - IMMERSION BLENDER

Steps:

• Stick or "immersion" blenders come with a beaker which fits nicely around the blender. If you don't have this beaker, find a thin, tall container which fits closely around the blender.
• Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, Tabasco, water, dry mustard, salt, and cayenne pepper in the beaker.
• Gently pour the grape seed oil (or whichever oil you have decided to use) on top of all the other ingredients in the beaker.
• Place the stick blender in the beaker, with the bottom of the blender resting on the bottom of the beaker.
• Pulse the blender, about three seconds at a time, keeping the bottom of the blender in contact with the bottom of the beaker. Do this until you see the mixture begin to emulsify (i.e. turn thick and white colored).
• Once the bottom fourth of the mixture is emulsified, begin to slowly raise the stick blender, incorporating more of the oil into the emulsification. I use a slow up and down movement, incorporating a bit more oil each time I raise the blender up. Continue until all the oil is incorporated. I continue to blend, moving the blender up and down and around the beaker, for about 30 seconds after all the oil has been incorporated, because I like my mayo to be thick.
• Refrigerate and use within one week.
• *NOTES*: I use grape seed oil, because it is a good neutral-tasting oil, but you could use any kind of oil you like. If you use all olive oil, the mayonnaise will taste predominantly of olive oil, so take that into account, and think about the recipe you will be using the mayo in before you use all olive oil. You can also experiment with using blends of different oils.
• If you are using the stick blender technique, you can make a half recipe, but I wouldn't try a half recipe if you are making the mayo using a food processor.
• TO MAKE LACTO-FERMENTED MAYO:
• Omit the 2 teaspoons cold water and add 1 tablespoon whey instead. Add the whey when you are adding the lemon juice and vinegar. Make the mayo as usual, but when you are finished, leave it to sit out at room temperature for 7 hours before putting it in the fridge. Mayo made this way will last in the fridge for 6 months. I like to use an oil blend in my lacto-fermented mayonnaise - I use 1/3 macadamia nut oil, 1/3 almond oil, and 1/3 extra virgin olive oil.
• TO MAKE WHEY: buy a container of plain whole fat yogurt - make sure it is true plain yogurt, no sugars or anything else added. Also, you DO NOT want "Greek" style yogurt - this yogurt has already been strained and has had most of its whey removed already. Wet some cheesecloth, wring it out, and place it in a strainer over a bowl. Pour in the yogurt, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit on the counter overnight or for 8 hours. The resulting liquid is whey. Place the whey in a sealed container in the fridge - it will keep for up to 6 months. You can eat the concentrated yogurt cheese which is left behind.
• TO PASTEURIZE EGG YOLKS: Gather 3 whisks or forks. Place the egg yolks in a small bowl and use the first whisk or fork to combine the egg yolks with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the egg yolk mixture and whisk again. Seal the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the microwave. Heat the egg mixture on high until the surface begins to rise. Once you see this, cook for 8 more seconds, then immediately remove the bowl and whisk the yolks vigorously with a CLEAN whisk. Re-cover the bowl and immediately return to the microwave and heat on high again until the surface begins to rise. Continue for 8 more seconds, then remove and whisk vigourously with the third CLEAN whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The yolks are now safe to use in mayonnaise or other raw-egg preparations. *If making the mayo with the pasturized egg yolks, use only 1 cup of oil - they cannot absorb as much oil as the unpasteurized yolks.*.
