Ingredients:
1 egg
3/4 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. vinegar
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. paprika
3 tbsp. fresh caraway thyme leaves or 1 tbsp. dried
1 cup oil

Makes 1-1⁄4 cups

An hour before making the mayonnaise, take the egg from the refrigerator. A cold egg won’t take up oil as easily as a room-temperature egg.

Place the egg, salt, vinegar, spices, and thyme leaves in a blender or food processor and process until the egg is thoroughly blended. With the motor running, gradually add the oil in a thin stream. If the mayonnaise is too thick, thin it with a bit of water or more vinegar. Stored in the refrigerator, this mayonnaise will keep 3 to 4 days.
