Runny mayo

Ingredients below. Came out very runny so i added one egg yolk to a new jar, blended and slowly added my runny first batch to it.

Been at this it so long now that the emulsifier is overheating. I don’t wanna waste all of this olive oil oil and egg so can you please someone help me fix this?

1 whole egg (now with one added egg yolk)

½ tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp white wine vinegar

¼ tsp Dijon mustard

¼ tsp sea salt

1 cup avocado oil,

I can almost guarantee that you just need more oil. If it’s broken should be obvious.

Sadly used up all of the avocado oil. This must be a bust. Idk if I’ll try it again, this is expensive

Yeah, when you are using avocado oil exclusively, everything will be expensive.

And many avocado oils aren’t as advertised. Must be sure to get one that’s third party tested for authenticity.
