Easy Homemade Mayo Recipe (1 minute- Mayo with Healthy Oils)
I never thought I would be the kind of person who makes mayonnaise from scratch, but once I tried it, I was hooked. The process is surprisingly quick and almost foolproof, especially when you use an immersion blender (affiliate link). In just a couple of minutes, you can turn simple ingredients into a creamy, velvety sauce that tastes worlds better than anything in a jar.
What I love most is how fresh and customizable it is. You control the flavor, whether you keep it classic, add a little garlic for an aioli, or even spice it up with herbs and seasonings. The result is rich, tangy, and incredibly versatile.
Homemade mayo has become one of my go-to condiments in the kitchen. It’s the perfect base for dips and dressings, and I’ve started using it in recipes like my chicken Caesar wrap and loaded buffalo chicken sweet potatoes, where the creamy texture balances the bold flavors perfectly. Once you taste how much better fresh mayo is, you’ll never want to go back to store-bought.

Easy Homemade Mayo
Ingredients
Notes
- This will emulsify easily if the egg is room temp, however there have been plenty of times I’ve used a cold egg and it still works!
- Play around with flavors. A little garlic, lemon juice, fresh parsley, or smoked paprika turns it into something completely different!
Method
- Add the egg, mustard, and lemon juice to the bottom of a clean glass jar.
- Pour the oil on top. Do not stir.
- Place the immersion blender all the way at the bottom of the jar, covering the yolk.
- Turn it on and hold it steady for a few seconds until you see the mayo start to form at the bottom.
- Slowly raise the blender up through the mixture until all of the oil is blended and the mayo is thick and creamy.
- Season with salt and taste it.
- Keep it in the same jar, seal it with a lid, and store in the fridge for up to a week.
