Classic Mayonnaise with Cooked Eggs
Adding oil very slowly is essential for the mayon-
naise emulsion – the hole in the pusher adds the oil
at just the right speed for success. Flavored vinegar
or fresh or dried herbs can be added for a flavored
mayonnaise.
I N G R E D I E N T S
2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons wine vinegar or lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 cup flavorless vegetable oil
Have a shallow pan of ice water ready. In a small
skillet, use a whisk to stir together the egg yolks,
vinegar or lemon juice, sugar, dry mustard, salt, and
pepper until completely blended. Cook over very
low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture bub-
bles in 1 or 2 places – do not allow eggs to scram-
ble. Remove from the heat and place in the ice
water bath, stir to cool down.
Insert the metal blade. Place the egg mixture in the
work bowl. Cover and insert the pusher. Turn the
machine on and add half the oil to the pusher, the oil
will run through the pusher very slowly into the
work bowl to create the emulsion. When it has
totally run through, add the remaining oil to the
pusher, as the emulsion is made, the sound of the
machine will become deeper. Transfer mayonnaise
to a container, cover and chill until ready to use.
Will keep for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Herb Mayonnaise: Add 1/4 cup tightly packed fresh
green herbs when you put in the egg.
Recommended herbs are parsley, dill and tarragon,
with stems removed.
Tarter Sauce: Triple the amount of lemon juice.
When mayonnaise is finished, add these ingredients:
3 small gherkins, 1/4 small onion, 1 tablespoon
capers, 1 tablespoon bottled horseradish and 3
drops Tabasco sauce. Process until gherkins and
onion are chopped fine, about 10 seconds
Yield 1-1/4 cups mayonnaise.

I N G R E D I E N T S
