About this recipe
Three-Minute Mayonnaise Thermomix TM7 is the ultimate quick condiment recipe for anyone who has ever struggled with a split, watery emulsion made by hand. With nothing more than eggs, grapeseed oil, vinegar and salt, this all-in-one kitchen machine turns four humble ingredients into a luxuriously thick, glossy mayonnaise faster than you can set the table. The secret lies in the TM7's precise blade action: the eggs and vinegar are blended first, then the grapeseed oil is incorporated gradually while the machine runs at a consistent speed, creating the stable emulsion that manual whisking so often fails to achieve. The neutral flavour of grapeseed oil lets the delicate egginess shine through, while the vinegar adds a gentle tang and helps preserve the sauce. Perfect as a sandwich spread, a base for aioli or remoulade, or served alongside Belgian fries, this homemade mayonnaise contains no preservatives or additives and tastes noticeably fresher than anything from a jar.
Preparation tips
- Use eggs at room temperature before you start: cold eggs are the most common cause of a runny or split mayonnaise. Take them out of the fridge half an hour ahead, and measure the grapeseed oil in advance so you can pour it in a slow, steady stream.
- Choose a mild, neutral oil such as grapeseed for a classic flavour, since strongly flavoured oils will dominate the emulsion. If you want a fruitier note, replace only a small portion of the grapeseed oil with a delicate olive oil so the mayonnaise stays balanced.
- Store the finished mayonnaise in a clean, airtight jar in the fridge and use it within a few days. If the mixture ever looks curdled, whisk a fresh egg yolk in a bowl and slowly beat in the broken mayonnaise to bring it back together.
Recipe variations
- Garlic aioli variation: add one crushed garlic clove and a squeeze of lemon juice to the eggs and vinegar before emulsifying with the grapeseed oil. This Provençal-style version pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, seafood and crusty bread.
- Herbed lemon variation: finish the mayonnaise with finely chopped fresh chives, tarragon and a little grated lemon zest folded in after emulsifying. This fresh, fragrant variant is ideal for sandwiches, potato salads and as a dip for crudités at a summer gathering.

You no longer need to worry about broken sauces; simply add your ingredients and let the appliance handle the technical precision.
