immersion blender

Ingredients

1 large egg
3/4 cup avocado oil
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1-2 teaspoons chipotle paste (depending on taste)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (depending on taste)
salt, to taste

Instructions

Add all your ingredients to a medium wide-mouth jar. Add egg, oil, dijon, chipotle paste, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and salt in the order listed. I like to use a jar that I will be storing the mayo in.
Blend. Place an immersion blender over top of the egg yolk at the bottom of the jar. Turn on the blender. After about 5-10 seconds, you will see the mixture start to make an emulsion and thicken. Continue blending and after about 30-45 seconds, slowly raise the immersion blender so all the oil is incorporated.
Store in a tightly sealed jar in the fridge. As it sits in the fridge, it will thicken up. Mayo will keep until the expiration date on the eggs.

Notes

Use chipotle paste and cayenne pepper depending on your spice preference. It will also depend on what chipotle paste you can find as some are more spicy than others.
