Gordon Ramsay Mayonnaise Recipe

You’ll never look at store-bought mayonnaise the same way after trying Gordon Ramsay’s version!
It’s smooth, creamy, and incredibly flavorful, with just a handful of fresh ingredients.
The first thing I recommend is starting with fresh, room-temperature ingredients. Cold eggs can cause the mixture to struggle when emulsifying.
Start with a whisk and a steady hand as you slowly drizzle in the oil. Trust me, rushing here will lead to a split mixture, and no one wants THAT!
A squeeze of lemon juice right at the end balances the richness and gives it a fresh, zesty edge.
I also like to add a tiny pinch of mustard for a subtle kick—it’s a small touch that makes a big difference.

Ingredients
  
  • 3 large Egg Yolks
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tbsp White Wine Vinegar
  • 1 cup Sunflower Oil
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
 
  • Begin by placing the egg yolks in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the Dijon mustard and a pinch of salt to the bowl.
  • Whisk until fully combined.
  • Slowly add the sunflower oil to the mixture.
  • Pour it in a thin stream while continuously whisking.
  • This helps achieve the creamy texture you desire in mayonnaise.
  • Once the mixture starts to thicken, add the white wine vinegar.
  • Continue whisking, this gives the mayonnaise a touch of tanginess.
  • If you prefer a bit more zing, stir in the lemon juice.

  • Adjust the seasoning by adding salt and pepper to taste.
  • Whisk again to ensure everything is well mixed.
