Master the art of homemade mayonnaise with Jacques Pépin's classic recipe. This silky, rich condiment comes together in minutes and outshines anything store-bought. The secret lies in the slow emulsification process and room-temperature ingredients. Customize with your favorite oils—try a blend of neutral peanut oil with olive oil for depth, or add a touch of sesame oil for Asian-inspired dishes. Perfect for elevating sandwiches, salads, or as the base for countless other sauces. - Claude

Ingredients
1 large egg (we will only be using the yolk)
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
Dash of salt and pepper
2 tsp wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups of your favorite oil, or a mix of oils (such as peanut oil, olive oil, and even a tsp of sesame oil)
Directions
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.
Separate the yolk from the egg white and place it in a large glass measuring cup.
Add the mustard, salt, and pepper to the egg yolk.
Mix together well.
Mix in the vinegar.
Slowly add the oil, using your whisk or immersion blender to mix it to the proper consistency.
The mayonnaise will gradually thicken as you incorporate the oil.

💬 Uncle Dave says...
This fundamental technique from master chef Jacques Pépin creates a versatile base for countless variations. Try adding minced herbs, garlic, or spices once you've mastered the basic recipe. You can also substitute lemon juice for the vinegar for a brighter flavor.
