Perfect Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe + Garlic Aioli | Cajun Remoulade | Comeback Sauce

Mayonnaise is an emulsified sauce consisting of egg yolk, vinegar, and oil to make a thick white spreadable condiment. While mayonnaise has been around a lot longer, it first appeared in French cookbooks in the 18th century. It can be used as a condiment, a sauce, or as a base for salad dressings or bound salads. With more access to readily available ingredients to help emulsify the mayonnaise, here are some basic items needed:
Aioli is a tasty sauce consisting of egg yolks, garlic, salt, and olive oil. Its origin can be traced to the Mediterranean coasts of Spain, Italy, and France. Aioli is a fantastic garlic-flavored condiment to be added as a dressing or a spreadable sauce to be served on a sandwich, or even as something to be dipped in.
Cajun remoulade is a zesty mayonnaise-based Louisiana-style sauce that is excellent used when dipping in things like shrimp or chicken. It’s also excellent to spread on a sandwich or even as a salad dressing. The term “remoulade” has expanded to be a myriad of different things, but classic remoulade sauce was created in France and consists of tartar sauce and finely minced anchovies that are then mixed in. This is the creole-Cajun version of that classic sauce.
Comeback sauce is a zesty mayonnaise-based condiment that originated at a Greek restaurant in Jackson, Mississippi. Comeback sauce is still very popular in the south and will be found on several restaurant menus. It’s very simple to prepare a sauce that is excellent for dipping fried chicken in or even being used as a salad dressing.

Learning how to make my own mayonnaise was a great move for me, I have not bought store Mayo in a really long time. I always have what I need on hand, run out, whip some up. You use these items for more then mayo, you save $$ & gas (if you need it now) the pluses go on. Your always ready to make a mayo based anything. Thanks for these new flavors, will give them a try :)

[@geoffreydebrito7934]

Thanks for sharing. The oils you suggest are seed and flower oils which are inflammatory, a significant factor in many metabolic diseases. Try a combination of lightly heated coconut oil (to liquefy) and room temperature avocado oil as a substitute. A bit of mustard and/or dill are commonly included ingredient(s) in mayo recipes. I've found that storing prepared condiments in a mason jar with a vacuum lid lengthens shelf life in the refrigerator.

[@dmunoz1943]

This is a great video. I’ve noticed that mayo’s consistency has changed, don’t know what they’re doing to it….but it’s different,. Same with, Miracle Whip which is what i prefer on my sandwiches, but it is different. I’ll have to try making this recipe.

[@brentw6533]

Apple cider makes an interesting flavor in a mayo. Try it with something you wouldn't mind apples in. There aren't a lot of flavors in mayo so it can come in quite strong so be ready.

[@AbbyMom100]

This works well with a powered whisk or food processor but you CAN use a whole egg. You don't NEED to separate I find.

Could you soft boil an egg to pasteurize it? I used to make my own way back. These look great!

[@flyingswineseasonings742]

A double boiler (metal bowl over simmering pot of water) will pasteurize the yoke! Just keep whisking until you get slight ribbons. Then use quickly to avoid overcooking the yoke.

[@vernonclement]

I use the whole egg and dump everything in a measuring cup then mix with a hand blender. It takes about 30 seconds.

[@ibec69]

Yes! It's so easy. For some reason though, the few times I tried it with a yolk I ended up with egg soup. Using a whole egg is the secret to this method I think, like you said.

[@capt.sardonico2197]

@@ibec69 I think plain yolks need to have some air incorporated before they can accept the fat, similar to making a hollandaise sauce

[@ibec69]

@@capt.sardonico2197 that makes sense. Interestingly, Kenji from Serious Eats has a recipe and a video for hand blender hollandaise. His trick is to slowly pour hot melted butter into it. I haven’t tried it yet because I don’t want to waste so much butter if it fails.

What would you think about using the oil from Garlic Confit for your oil emulsion, would that make the ultimate Garlic Mayo?

[@ChefBillyParisi]

[@maurits2251]

Hey great video! I have a question tho: I have made mayo a couple times but it keeps tasting too oily. Is that just the way homemade should taste or can I make it creamier. By for example using 2 eggyolks? Or a different oil?

[@brentw6533]

Oil flavors come out super strong in mayos. I would try changing oils first. The lemon juice also helps with that. Double yolk is a thing and makes mayos taste quite different, feel free to try it if you want more body to your mayo.

[@charlesroberts9137]

Hi Chef, I attempted the mayo 2xs now and haven't been able to get the mixture to thicken up. I used canola oil. I started off with the food processor then tried a blender. What mistake might I have made?

[@brendareed5050]

charles, try letting the egg warm for a minute outside the shell. Make sure you are pouring the oil in real slow if using the blender.

[@campguy]

you can also make pastuerized eggs in a sous vide water bath.........I think the Guga "sous vide everything" channel has a great ytube where he cooks eggs at one degree intervals from about 132, 133,134,135,136,137,138 degrees and believe it or not every egg came out a different consistency and he mentioned that one particular temperature was the best for pasturized eggs

[@St_nicole2000]

Is it possible to over whip/process the mayo?

[@ChefBillyParisi]

I mean not really, it will just get super stuff.

[@lodollar23]

Why not an electric whisk instead of a processor? Thx

[@TheBoketoes]

Does the egg have to be pasturized?

[@kittykat717]

How do I know if my egg is pasteurized or not I have no idea. I often buy them from a large local farm.

[@daviddickey370]

They're almost certainly not pasteurized -- bet they're good though. When you buy eggs straight from a farm at a farmer's market, you'll sometimes see a bit of poo on them (chickens have a cloaca--a common opening for reproductive AND excretory products; to over-simplify a bit eggs come out the same shoot as pee and poo; commercial eggs get a wash to remove "dirt" and some bacteria). If you want to be super-safe, it's easy to pasteurize them if you have a sous-vide set-up: --recipes.anovaculinary.com/recipe/pasteurized-eggs-68-- (I put them in a water-filled ziplock bag, in case an egg breaks, I don't want to have to clean out the machine); Also, a 24 hour room temperature rest is recommended if you don't have pasteurized eggs -- just leave the mayo out on the counter before you consume the mayo: this paradoxically kills any salmonella bacteria from the eggs (the bacteria are killed by a combination of the acid from the lemon juice/vinegar and room temp; many fewer are killed at refrigerator temps, even with the same ingredients (cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/33212/room-temperature-rest-for-fresh-mayo). As always, this is not medical advice, I'm not a doctor or even a pro chef, etc. etc, (I have used the room-temp rest dozens and dozens of times without ill effect).

I'm not vegan, just mostly plant based, and I do enjoy eggs, but just curious; If you wanted to make a completely vegan version of mayonnaise, what would use to substitute the egg? ...I was thinking maybe a homemade cashew cream may work. It's very simple to make and take 3 mins; You just toss a quarter cup of cashews, salt, peper, and a quarter cup of cashews in a blender. This cashew cream tastes surprisingly close to a cream made from dairy products.

Hi! I live in Southeast Asia and eating raw egg is simply not an option. Pasteurised eggs are not available either. Is there a way I can pasteurise the eggs at home? Thanks!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

You essentially need to get them to 140 F internally, which I’m not sure how you would be able to do that. If you swap out vinegar for lemon juice and use a bit more in the beginning and let it sit after whisking for a few to ensure the lemon juice has time to cure the yolk, you could do it. Or while whisking vigorously at the beginning very slowly add in boiling water. I’m talking a 1/2 teaspoon or 2.5 ml at a time, totaling 2-3 tsp.

That usually means that you added the oil too fast. You really need to add it slowly, espeicially at the beginning, or it won't emulsify.

To fix it drizzle your thin liquid into two egg yolks slowly in tiny amounts at a time and after each slow drizzle whisk and it will thicken up.
