Bacon Mayonnaise
Bacon mayonnaise is a rich, savoury condiment made with crispy smoked streaky bacon, egg, mustard and lemon juice. The Thermomix TM7 emulsifies the oil and egg into a silky, stable mayonnaise while you bake the bacon, delivering a smoky, creamy sauce that never separates. Ideal for burgers, sandwiches and dips.
About this recipe
Bacon mayonnaise Thermomix TM7 style is the ultimate savoury spread for anyone searching for homemade mayonnaise recipes with a smoky twist. While the streaky bacon crisps up in the oven, the all-in-one kitchen machine takes care of the trickiest part: turning egg, mustard, lemon juice and sunflower oil into a glossy, stable emulsion without any whisking by hand. The result is a velvety, golden mayonnaise flecked with crunchy bacon pieces, salty and smoky with a fresh hint of citrus. Serve it as a dip for oven fries, spread it generously on a toasted sandwich, or spoon it next to grilled chicken at your next barbecue. Because the TM7 controls speed and timing precisely, the emulsion rarely fails, even for beginners. This recipe turns a humble condiment into the star of your snack table, and it keeps well in the fridge for several days, making it perfect for meal prep and festive gatherings alike.
Preparation tips
- Make sure the bacon has cooled completely before you break it into pieces, otherwise the warmth can cause the mayonnaise emulsion to thin out when you fold the bacon through later.
- Pour the sunflower oil onto the egg mixture very gradually at the start; a slow, steady stream helps the emulsion form and keeps your bacon mayonnaise thick and glossy.
- Reserve a spoonful of the crispy bacon pieces to scatter on top just before serving, and store the finished mayonnaise in a sealed jar in the fridge so the smoky flavour deepens overnight.
Recipe variations
- For a smoky-sweet festive version, add a teaspoon of maple syrup to the emulsion and fold in extra crispy bacon, then serve alongside chicken wings or warm potato wedges at a party.
- For a lighter variation, replace half of the sunflower oil with mild olive oil and add a little extra lemon juice, giving the bacon mayonnaise a fresher, fruitier character that suits summer salads and wraps.
