I've Died And Gone To Bacon Heaven!!! Baconnaise

[indaswamp]

Yes! Homemade Bacon Mayonnaise....a.k.a. Baconnaise!!!

Holy Crap! I'm kind of pissed this has NOT been in my life before now!!! Today is probably the greatest culinary day of my life with this discovery! Total Bacon Nirvana....Bacon Flavor Bomb...Flavor overload....It's like Mardi Gras in Flavor town!!!

Very simple. Only 4 ingredients (with an optional 5th)

Bacon Mayonnaise, a.k.a. Baconnaise

2 cups slightly warmed bacon grease (80-90*F) 413grams
The juice of 1 fresh lemon 30-35g. (Room temp.!)
2 whole eggs; plus one extra yolk 137g. (Must be at room temperature)
1/4 tsp. dark brown sugar (if the lemon is not sweet)

0.1% (0.58g.) potassium sorbate (optional preservative for long shelf life in refrigerator; and for any weee beastie bacteria in the raw egg.)

Can put the eggs in warm water for 15 minutes to warm...

Add 2 cracked eggs plus one yolk to a 1 qt. container.

juice lemon in a small bowl and add potassium sorbate (stir to dissolve)

pour lemon juice mix into 1 quart container
pulse blend with immersion blender 2-3 seconds
pour/spoon slightly melted bacon grease into quart container

I left all the bacon bits in the grease, but you can strain them out. Lose a lot of bacon flavor though......

LOL!! It is so awesome David! And no need to add salt to the mayo, the bacon grease has plenty already.

This could just be a great dip for cooked bacon strips, and double dipping is allowed,.

Come on I know I'm not the only one thinking this ..

Absolutely not, what is better than bacon… well bacon with a bacon dip!

For regular mayonnaise made with salad oil, you only need 1 egg for the oil to emulsify. But the added additional egg and egg yolk to the baconnaise helps the mayonnaise stay soft and spreadable when chilled down to refrigerator temps...
It also makes the Baconnaise more creamy and delicious!

You can use apple cider vinegar in place of the lemon juice if you like. I like the lemon.

No to the cider, yes to the lemon or even lime

This must happen here soon,

Thank you

Now I'm down the rabbit hole of all the great dips that can be made with mayo....but use Baconnaise. Sour cream and onion anyone??? WHAT?!?!?

Now I gotta figure out how I'm going to come up with 2 cups bacon grease. I use it to season all kinds of stuff. Currently it lasts just til the next bacon cook.
Been working on a recipe that takes at least a pound of bacon crumbled at a time. Maybe a few more experiments will get me there.

Holy #$&?€¥√!!!!!! How have I never had or seen this. Moving to top of list. I'll need to cook a few lbs of bacon this week. I just used up one of my stash jars of bacon grease on a warm bacon vinaigrette.

You can halve the recipe. Use 1 egg and 1 yolk though.
