This is a fail-proof recipe for Thermomix mayonnaise, which takes a couple of minutes to make. It's tastier and cheaper than store-bought versions, which are often full of additives and preservatives.
FEATURED REVIEW
"Just made this. It turned out amazing and so easy. I used vegetable oil because that's all I had besides EVOO. I added the salt and pepper at the beginning and used a pepper mill. Next time I think I'll use white pepper but that is just for aesthetics. Thanks for sharing the recipe."
KYLEE
This version of mayonnaise is made with whole eggs rather than just the yolks. There are a few variations of homemade mayonnaise to try. Still, in general, the main thing to get right is the mustard-to-lemon juice/vinegar ratio, and it's easy to adjust the flavour if it turns out a bit bland.

Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Quick and easy.
- More economical.
- Versatile - different flavours can be added, such as Sriracha, for a spicy kick.
Recipe Tip
If the mayonnaise curdles, it's usually because the oil was added too fast. To rescue it, try gradually adding 1 tablespoon of boiling water and blend for 30 sec/speed 4 until the mayonnaise emulsifies again.
Variations
Sriracha Mayonnaise: For a spicy kick, add 1-2 tablespoons of Sriracha and one clove of minced garlic to the mayonnaise and stir to combine.
Storage
The mayonnaise can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge until needed, and it's best to consume it within a couple of weeks.
