How to Make Homemade Mayo

Immersion Blender Method (1-Minute Mayo):

  1. Add egg, oil, lemon juice, salt, and any extras to a narrow mason jar.
  2. Place immersion blender at the bottom of the jar.
  3. Blend without moving for 15–20 seconds until thick.
  4. Slowly lift the blender to mix in oil and fully emulsify.

Done. It’s that easy.
