CHOLESTEROL-FREE MAYONNAISE The safest mayonnaise made at home is made with an egg substitute or liquid pasteurized egg product. Made with an egg substitute, it has the added advantage of being cholesterol-free. Makes about 3⁄4 cup 1 ⁄2 cup liquid egg substitute or pasteurized liquid egg product 2 tablespoons wine vinegar 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (mild in flavor) 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1⁄8 teaspoon ground white pepper 1⁄8 teaspoon kosher salt 2⁄3 cup flavorless vegetable oil Place egg substitute, vinegar, olive oil, dry mustard, pepper and salt in the blender jar. Cover blender jar. Set on Speed 12. Turn blender on and blend for about 5 seconds. With blender running, remove the Measured Pour Lid, and add the vegetable oil in a slow steady stream, taking about 30 to 40 seconds to add the oil. Hold the Measured Pour Lid loosely over the opening to prevent spattering. The mayonnaise will thicken and emulsify as the oil is added, about 30 to 40 seconds. Turn blender off. Mayonnaise may be used immediately or placed in an airtight, covered container and refrigerated. Mayonnaise will thicken further when refrigerated.
