Bacon Mayonnaise
Ingredients
- 3 Egg yolks
- 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar OR Lemon juice
- 1 cup Bacon grease at room temp* *you can heat slightly to make it more liquid, but be careful not to make it too warm or the mixture will break
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/8 tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard (optional, for taste)
Instructions
- In a jar or smaller bowl, use an immersion blender or whisk to blend the egg yolks and apple cider vinegar until frothy.
- Start out very slow and add a little bit of your bacon grease. Blend well.
- Continue to add your bacon grease a small amount at a time, blending fully after each time.
- You will start to get a thick and creamy sauce.
- Once all the grease is blended, add the salt, pepper, and dijon mustard.
- Mix well and enjoy!
- See notes for tips on your emulsion and troubleshooting.
Notes
If your mixture is too thick, you can add a little acid or warm water to offset that thickness. Just add slowly and blend.
If your mixture is too thin, add a little more oil and blend to thicken up.
If your mixture breaks, it is usually these three things:
- Too cold or too warm
- The mixture got too thick
- Oil was added too fast
