Baconnaise (aka Bacon Mayonnaise)

Baconnaise (aka Bacon Mayonnaise)

Baconaise: A homemade mayonnaise made with plenty of bacon!!!

Baconnaise (aka bacon mayonnaise) is my new obsession! Bacon is the food of the gods and making mayonnaise with it means that you can slather that bacon-y goodness all over everything!
It is pretty easy to make your own mayonnaise but I generally just go with the convenience of the jarred stuff, that is until baconnaise arrived. Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil, egg yolks and lemon juice (or vinegar) that turns the liquid oil into a thick and creamy sauce that is spreadable. Mayonnaise can be seasoned with flavours with common ingredients being mustard, salt, pepper, paprika, etc. For baconnaise however some of the oil is replaced with rendered bacon grease, the dripping left over after cooking bacon, which infuses the mayonnaise with tons of smoky bacon flavour! Once the baconnaise is made I like to mix in some cooked and crumbled bacon to add even more bacon flavour and some crunchy bacon texture! Yum! Mayonnaise will never be the same! This baconnaise gas become a staple in my fridge!

Baconnaise (aka Bacon Mayonnaise)
Baconnaise is perfect for sandwiches, including the BLT!

    What a waste of my eggs and bacon fat! It was like soup and no amount of processing thickened it, so down the drain it went. After reading other recipes for homemade Mayo it appears this recipe calls for too much lemon juice and mustard. I’ll try it again but use measurements from other recipes and will still use half bacon fat and half neutral oil
