Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Setze auf Zutaten in Zimmertemperatur für eine optimale Emulsion. Ein hohes, schmales Gefäß sorgt für das beste Mixergebnis. Nutze pasteurisierte Eier, wenn du auf Nummer sicher gehen willst, und schmecke die Mayonnaise je nach Vorliebe mit etwas mehr Säure oder Gewürzen ab.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Für eine würzigere Note kannst du bis zu 2 Teelöffel mehr Essig oder Zitronensaft verwenden. Wer es knoblauchlastig mag, mixt einfach eine kleine Knoblauchzehe für eine schnelle Aioli mit. Auch Kräuter, Chili oder geriebene Zitronenschale lassen sich leicht untermixen, um neue Geschmacksrichtungen zu entdecken.
