Skip the grocery store and start making homemade mayonnaise! It is surprisingly quick & easy to make at home in just 5 minutes!

Beat the egg yolks, then start adding the oil first drop by drop.

While whisking, continue to add oil in a slow but steady stream, until is fully incorporated and you have a thick sauce. You may need to add more oil, so have a spare 2 fl oz on hand.

While whisking, finally add the lemon juice and beat in until combined. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste.

Mayonnaise can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for a couple of days;  you can use it for delicious deviled eggs, glorious dressings or simple as it is as accompaniment of your favorite french fries!
