Egg Yolk and Coconut Oil Mayonnaise

Egg Yolk and Coconut Oil Mayonnaise

A rich, homemade mayonnaise with natural ingredients. This creamy, tangy mayonnaise is made from just a few simple ingredients. 
Use it as a spread, dip, or dressing.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg yolk at room temperature
  • ¼ tsp dried mustard
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • A pinch of pepper
  • 2 tbsp vinegar white or apple cider
  • ¼ pint about 150 ml coconut oil, melted and cooled to room temperature

How to make it
 

  1. Start with room temperature ingredients:
    – this helps the mayonnaise mix smoothly.
  2. Mix the yolk and seasonings:
    – in a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with the mustard, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the oil slowly:
    – begin adding the oil drop by drop while whisking quickly and steadily
    – keep whisking until the mixture starts to thicken.
  4. Continue whisking:
    – once it thickens, pour the rest of the oil in a thin stream while whisking strongly
    – if it becomes too thick, add a few drops of vinegar to loosen it.
  5. Adjust the texture:
    – keep alternating oil and vinegar as needed, whisking all the time until smooth and creamy.
  6. Taste and finish:
    – taste the mayonnaise and adjust the salt or vinegar if needed.
