Few sandwiches can make the cut without mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is such a tasty, versatile condiment. Most people satisfy their mayonnaise needs through industrial sized jars at the local grocery store.
However, did you know you can make your own mayonnaise at home? It’s actually very easy to do. You just need a couple of ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Are you ready? You will need an egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, white pepper, and oil. Simply crack the egg and separate the egg yolk. Next, mix the egg yolk with the mustard. Slowly, whisk in the oil. Make sure you keep whisking as you add the oil. Finally, add the lemon juice and the white pepper.
Unlike the mayonnaise you buy at the store, this mayonnaise only has a shelf life of a few days. The reason is because mayonnaise made at a factory is pumped full of various chemicals to make it last longer. The homemade mayonnaise also has a yellow color from the mustard.
This is a sign of mayonnaise that comes from a kitchen instead of a jar! You can keep this mayonnaise in the fridge of a couple days. After that time period, you can simply throw it out. Making some more is quick and easy. That is the nice thing about this mayonnaise recipe. You can quickly make it when you need it. You will always be able to have fresh mayonnaise on your sandwiches or for dipping. Take the time to try it today!
