Oh mayo you are so tasty and you are eaten a lot! Especially with fries or as a dressing and also on sandwiches. Now I know that buying a tube or jar of mayo costs very little and why bother yourself when the product is so easy to come by? Well, just because it's fun to make, and secretly it tastes even better than the factory ones. You can't argue with taste and that's why I call my mayo the best homemade mayonnaise recipe.
Incidentally, the guidelines for what can really bear the name “Mayonnaise” were laid down in the Commodities Act on March 24, 1998. This is to prevent all kinds of variations on the market from being called mayonnaise. The rule is as follows: "An eatable consisting of an oil-in-water-type emulsion, containing at least 70% fat and at least 5% egg yolk." Well, I didn't really measure the percentages in my recipe, but I certainly think it can bear the name mayonnaise!

And it can be that simple! Of course you can also use sunflower oil instead of the olive oil. Seasoning this mayonnaise also offers many options. By mixing fresh thyme or parsley, for example, you can make a very versatile sauce. Keep it in the fridge for a day or two. Because we don't make huge quantities with this recipe but just a bowl, you don't have to worry that it won't run out!
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.

And this is how you make it:
- Take a saucepan and fill it with water. Bring the water to a boil and as soon as it boils, gently slide the egg into the water. We need a soft-boiled egg. So cook it for a maximum of 4 minutes.
- Cool the egg directly under the cold tap or in a bowl with ice cold water, this stops the cooking process in the egg.
- Take a measuring cup with high rims. Carefully peel the egg and drop it into the measuring cup.
- Add the mustard and oil and put your immersion blender in it. Turn it on and slowly lift it up. You will notice that a creamy substance is created immediately. Move the immersion blender up and down a few times so that the egg is completely mixed with the oil and mustard.
- Spoon the mayonnaise into a bowl and stir in the Greek yogurt and season with salt and pepper.

This is so much tastier than out of a jar
Take a jar with a narrow bottom. Add the yellow of one egg, a full teaspoon of mustard, pepper and salt.
Take the oil (I always use corn oil, but that can be other) and the whisk (beater). Beat the egg and mustard evenly, continue beating and add very small amounts of oil. If you have a smooth whole, the oil can be added a little faster. Add a little vinegar now and then, but always keep beating, even if you add oil.
