2 eggs
1 cup extra virgin Spanish olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice

Directions:
Directions:
BLENDER OR MIXER NEEDED: A small "stick blender" will allow you to mix the mayonnaise right in 1 2-cup measuring cup.

Crack the eggs into a 2-cup measuring cup or small mixing bowl. Start the mixer beating the eggs. If using a stick blender, keep the beater down on the bottom of the cup or bowl. Now, slowly drizzle the olive oil into the eggs and watch as the mixture magically turns into mayonnaise. Don't life the beaters or blenders. Keep them at the bottom until the bottom of the mixture starts to really thicken and turn to mayonnaise. Once the bottom half of the mixture has turned, you may life the mixer to finish mixing in the oil at the top.

Add salt and a bit of lemon juice while continuing to blend.

Personal Notes:
Mayhonnaise, the French claim to have invented, however the Spanish make the same claim. Who is right? Well, the story goes like this...Mayonnaise, or in Spanish mayonesa was invented in Mahon, a city on the island of Menorca, during the French occupation of Mahon in the 1750's. So, you could say it was a joint effort!
