Bacon Fat Mayo in a small glass jar

Bacon Mayonnaise - BACONNAISE

Dani
I know some people are going to think I'm crazy for recommending bacon fat mayo, but hear me out. Bacon actually isn't highest in saturated fat (which is not bad for you, by the way) but in monounsaturated fat - like olive oil

Ingredients
  

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp already made mayo optional but helps it emulsify, I just use my last batch of homemade mayo
  • 1 cup liquid room temperature bacon fat
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Add the egg yolks and 1 tbsp of mayo, if using, to a Vitamix or food processor.
  • Turn it on low.
  • You can either pour the bacon fat in SO, so slowly, or do what I did. I took a piece of plastic wrap, put it over the top of the Vitamix and pushed it down a bit so it wasn't flat so that it could hold the bacon fat in a well of sorts. Then I poked a small hole into it while the blender was on low. This allowed a very slow and steady stream of bacon fat.
  • Let the bacon fat drip slowly into the egg mixture, this took about five minutes for me.
  • Done! No whisking or slowly pouring in bacon fat for five whole minutes while your arm falls asleep.

Notes

This makes the BEST dip for all typed of seafood, like shrimp, but also makes for a great sandwich spread!
