60 gram water
2 large eggs
20 gram vinegar
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
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.)
Frequently asked questions
- How many calories are in this mayonnaise?
- About 90 calories per 100g, compared with roughly 680 in regular mayonnaise — a reduction of over 80 percent.
- Why did my mayonnaise come out runny?
- Usually ingredients that were too cold or too short a blend. Keep blending another minute or add a pinch of xanthan.
- How long does it keep?
- About a week in an airtight container in the fridge. It has no preservatives, so make a weekly batch.
