About this recipe
This mustard mayonnaise recipe is inspired by traditional French mayonnaise but adds a delightful kick with the incorporation of mustard. It's often served in bistros across France as a dip for vegetables or as a spread on sandwiches. By making this at home, you can adjust the flavor to your preference and enjoy a fresher alternative to store-bought versions.
Method
-
Step 1: Combine Egg Yolk and Mustard
In a mixing bowl, add 1 large egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of mustard. Whisk them together until well combined and slightly frothy.
-
Step 2: Incorporate Oil
Slowly drizzle in 200 milliliters of vegetable oil while continuously whisking the mixture. Start with a few drops and gradually increase the flow as the mixture thickens. This will create an emulsion, making the mayonnaise creamy.
Whisk continuously to prevent separation. -
Step 3: Add Lemon Juice, Salt, and Pepper
Once the mayonnaise is thick and smooth, stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, plus a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Mix until well combined.
-
Step 4: Store the Mustard Mayonnaise
Transfer the mustard mayonnaise to a clean storage container. It can be used immediately but is best if refrigerated for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Keep it refrigerated and consume within a week.
Tips
- For a stronger mustard flavor, increase the amount of mustard to your taste.
- Experiment with adding herbs like dill or parsley for a different twist.
