Method
Check off steps while cooking so you keep the flow.
Cook the eggs in boiling water.
Mix 60 grams of water with 1/16 teaspoon of xanthan gum until it thickens. (If using cornstarch instead: mix with 2 grams of cornstarch, heat in the microwave until it bubbles and thickens, then cool.)
Peel the hard-boiled eggs.
Process the eggs together with all the ingredients in a blender or food processor on low power until a smooth mayonnaise texture.
Small tips that make a difference
- All ingredients at room temperature - this matters most for a successful emulsion.
- Blend in a narrow container so the blade covers all the liquid.
- Sprinkle the xanthan gum in gradually while blending so it does not clump. (If using cornstarch, add it cooked and cooled.)
