Eggs

This creamy condiment blends rich egg yolk mayonnaise with fresh lime juice and zest, delivering a tart, citrusy finish that brightens tacos, grilled seafood, and sandwiches. It comes together quickly with an immersion blender or whisk, and keeps well in the refrigerator for easy use throughout the week.

Ingredients

  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 cups neutral vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, additional to taste

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 1 tablespoon lime juice, lime zest, Dijon mustard, and salt until smooth and well combined.

  2. While whisking constantly, drizzle in the vegetable oil very slowly, starting with just a few drops at a time, until the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify.

  3. Once the mayonnaise has thickened and emulsified, continue drizzling in the remaining oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until fully incorporated and thick.

  4. Whisk in the additional tablespoon of lime juice and taste, adjusting salt and lime juice as needed for a bright, tangy flavor.

  5. Transfer the lime mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
