Ingredients
-
1 large egg yolk (at room temperature)
-
1 tablespoon mustard (Dijon or yellow) (to taste)
-
200 milliliters vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice (or vinegar)
-
1 pinch salt (to taste)

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.
- 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.

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.
