For a richer flavor, try using a high-quality extra virgin olive oil, but be aware that it may result in a stronger taste. For a milder taste, you can use vegetable oil. Ensure the egg is fresh and at room temperature for optimal emulsification. If you are worried about raw eggs, you can use pasteurized eggs. Adjust the amount of lemon juice, salt, and pepper to your preference. Consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for a hint of spice. Homemade mayonnaise is best used within 3-4 days due to the fresh ingredients. Always store it in the refrigerator.
