Masterchef Australia - Fresh Mayonaise Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 pieces Large Eggs (room temperature, whole eggs)
• 1 cup Neutral Oil (vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil; neutral flavor)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard (heaped, acts as emulsifier)
• 2 tablespoons White Balsamic Vinegar (adds acidity and slight sweetness)
• 1 pinch Salt (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon Water (optional, to rescue a split mayo)
