Crack egg into a small jug or the container that came with your stick mixer. Add salt and pepper. In another pouring jug, place olive oil. Place stick mixer over egg yolk and turn on. Pour and add in oil a little bit at a time, mixing and incorporating as you go. It will look thin at first but will start to thicken pretty quickly and get thicker and thicker the more oil you add. Don’t just stir the stick mixer, move it up and down like you’re stamping on the mixture so that it emulsifies properly.
The thicker it gets the more oil you can add at once. When you’ve added about ¾ of your oil it should be very thick. At this point you can dump in the rest of the oil and incorporate it.
Once your mayo is ready you can serve as is or add other flavourings of your choice to make all different kinds of mayo! Check out my Instagram at the bottom of the page for mayo flavour ideas!

Notes
Net Carbs - 0.8g Nutritional Info is for the WHOLE recipe!*Note: If your mayo does split you can salvage it. Crack a new egg into a new jug/container. Repeat the same process to make the recipe here, except using the split mayo and adding it as if it were the oil. The mayo will come together again but it won’t be as creamy and will taste a bit different too. The only reason your mayo should split is if you add the oil too fast, so if it does split on you, just remember to add and incorporate the oil more gradually next time and your problem should be solved.
