Cholesterol-Free Mayonnaise
The safest mayonnaise made at home is made with an egg substitute
or liquid pasteurized egg product. Made with an egg substitute, it has
the added advantage of being cholesterol-free.
Makes about ¾ cup
½ cup liquid egg substitute
or pasteurized liquid egg product
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (mild in flavor)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 ⁄
8
teaspoon ground white pepper
1 ⁄
8
teaspoon kosher salt
2 ⁄
3
cup flavorless vegetable oil
Place egg substitute, vinegar, olive oil, dry mustard, pepper and salt in
the blender jar. Cover blender jar. Select Purée and blend for about 5
seconds. With blender running, remove the measured pour lid, and add
the vegetable oil in a slow steady stream, taking about 30–40 seconds
to add the oil, holding the measured pour lid loosely over the opening
to prevent spatter. The mayonnaise will thicken and emulsify as the oil
is added, about 30–40 seconds. Turn blender off. Mayonnaise may be
used immediately or placed in an airtight, covered container and
refrigerated. Mayonnaise will thicken further when refrigerated.
