How to Make a French style mayonnaise sauce (in just a few minutes)

The French style mayonnaise sauce is simple, delicious and only takes a few minutes to make. In this tutorial I demonstrate the technique on how to make a French mayonnaise sauce from scratch .

it is usually made with grapeseed or sunflower oil but you can use other oils too . just do not use olive oil as it will give a bitter taste to the mayonnaise. olive oil is used to make the aioli or rouille sauce.

Did it! Finally! I've followed so many recipes and it just never tasted right. This was perfect. The 150ml oil to one egg yolk was EXACTLY what I needed to know.

I had a stray egg yolk and decided to make mayonnaise for the first time ever. But I changed to ground white pepper, added a tiny touch of garlic powder and a pinch of white sugar. Came out great! You've changed my life for the better! Thank you for your French mayonnaise video!

I tried for 6 months to make mayonnaise with all the Strange tools that you Can find on amazon etc. The result was negative. Then I saw your video and I was able to do a fantastic sauce AT FIRST TIME! and the amazing thing is that every time it doesn't fail. thanx thanx thanx! Un saluto dall'Italia!

I use extra light organic virgin olive oil, and my mayonnaise always turns out so great! No bitterness and color is very rich, and beautiful.

I know this recipe since I was 10 years old, I started with cooked eggs, use only yolk, and the same slowly adding oil to it, but I used Woden spoon, and add as much mustard you like but don't add more then 2 tea spoon, it's simple and easy I always make my own mayonnaise 😍 greeting from Hungary

Turned out and only measured the oil. How amazing. Have used a blender & sometimes it works, sometimes not, but have learned to let it chill & try blending it again. Now that I have a simpler recipe, will stick to this. Merci.

Used this to make my first ever mayonnaise tonight. Added a few cloves of roasted garlic at the end, and a touch of cayenne. Easy and tasty.

That's how my mom taught me (German here).
For our homemade potato salad with mayo, a little bit (about a teaspoon) of sugar is added, plus diced onion. Tastes awesome.

People are often amazed that I make the sauce from scratch, but it's really easy. First time I made it I was in elementary school, around 7 or 8 years old. The key is to have the ingredients at room temperature, and to add the oil slowly.

It's funny, I learnt to make mayonnaise in a hotel management course I was doing in 1973 when I was 18. But it was only 10 or 15 years ago that I started making it again. In those days everyone copied the French and mayo, hollandaise, Béarnaise etc were pretty well the only sauces taught, and this was one of the easier ones to do.
I like the Tasmanian tea-towel you are using, it takes me back to when I was living there. Love your Channel as I always learn so much and ignites my passion for cooking again., thanks.

My mother used to make mayo using this exact same recipe only she used a blender. It's inexpensive, and delicious. Thanks for a simple, clear and effective method. I've subbed.

This is the only homemade mayo recipe that has worked for me after trying so many using the stick blender, regular blender, food processor. All those basically turned to liquid salad dressing (clearly I was doing something wrong).
This, however, came out the correct consistency. My arm is a bit sore now, haha, and I'll have to use a more neutral oil next time. I used olive oil (as that's what I had on hand) and it came out a bit oily tasting. I added a bit more vinegar and mustard and that helped.

Oh my goodness! I just made your mayonnaise recipe and I’m so happy how it turned out. I used avocado oil and it is perfect. Better than my mother used to make in my birth country. Thank you. 😊

[timvantuil]

Thank you for making the video in English! Your English is very good, by the way!

[Kathicm]

I can't believe it! I have made mayonnaise several times, and
hand whisked is the easiest method. 😃 Far more forgiving. Thanks for guiding me out of my comfort zone.

[ladylilac]

The mayonnaise worked! Honestly, this is the best recipe I have ever found, and honestly follow him in every step. I had a little trouble finding out how much 150ml were to ounces but it all came out just fine. Now I have some amazing mayonnaise to make a MEAN BLT for my husband this morning. Merci 😊

I’ve looked at so many recipes for homemade mayo that used ridiculous amounts of oil and ingredients ending up with 2 cups of it. Thank you for making a reasonable amount of mayonnaise for a family for 5-7 days. 🎉
