Delectable Bacon Mayonnaise

Transform leftover bacon grease into delectable bacon mayonnaise – a flavorful accompaniment to sandwiches, dips, dressings and more.

Ingredients

• 1 egg or 2 egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, optional
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or Himalayan rock salt
• Freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 1 cup bacon grease, warmed

Instructions

1. Add the egg, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper to the jug of your high-powered blender. Blend on medium, until combined.
2. Slowly drizzle in warmed bacon grease, a little bit at a time so that the mixture has time to thicken. Drizzling in should take about 1 minute total. Slow and steady wins the race!
3. Continue to run mixture for another 1-2 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
4. Transfer to a wide-mouth mason jar, cover and refrigerate. Should keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
5. A serving = 2 tablespoons

Notes

Mustard: I liked the mayonnaise without mustard but it’s a preference thing.
Eggs: if you want to make this recipe as high-fat as possible, use 2 egg yolks in place of the 1 egg. I liked it with 1 egg because the egg whites make the mayonnaise extra fluffy.
Consistency: right out of the blender, the mayonnaise will be runny. If left at room temperature, it will harden slightly. When refrigerated, it will harden to the consistency of butter.
MCT Oil: Swap bacon grease with MCT oil if you’ve got it on hand.
