HOW BUTTER MAYO HAPPENED
Most of you know that I LOVE sauces! Sauces can take a boring meal up to a delicious party in your mouth!
I have always wanted to own a keto restaurant and this past February, I felt like I owned one! I was a chef on a television show in Costa Rica and I cooked from 7:30am until 10pm! Almost all day, I cooked, prepped for meals and had to adapt meals on the fly for vegetarians. It was extremely hard work but I LOVED every minute of it!
We even spent a little time at an orphanage which was extremely emotional for me.
For the television show, I was constantly making a variety of sauces to go with the meals. One of them was butter mayo. My butter mayo happened by accident!
I do not know Spanish very well so when I had to grocery shop for the show, it was quite an adventure! I didn’t get half the ingredients I wanted but I’m really flexible and changed the menu to what I had available.
Another issue that happened on the television show is that Costa Rica customs did not allow the sponsor’s food items to be released. We were unaware of this when I first arrived in Costa Rica. As I grocery shopped, I did not buy salt because Redmond Real Salt was a sponsor and had a huge shipment sent; nor did I buy seasonings, natural sweetener, pork rinds or oils because the tv show had sponsors that sent a lot of product to feature on the show.
The first night that the crew and cast got together, I cooked without salt, seasonings, oil or butter! I didn’t have butter because I accidentally bought margarine! It was a nightmare but everyone loved the food! I found other ways to get in flavor; including BACON for salt!
Don’t worry, we returned the margarine and bought a lot of butter!
On the show I made a LOT of deviled eggs! Everyone loves deviled eggs and they are vegetarian which was nice to have offered for those who didn’t eat meat. I had to improvise because I didn’t have an immersion blender nor a whisk which makes making mayo quite difficult!
I like to make mayo with macadamia nut oil but all I had in the pantry was olive oil which can create a very strong flavor in a mayo.
Instead of using olive oil to make the mayo, I used BUTTER! Butter Mayo has the most amazing flavor and tastes great on everything; especially steak!
Everyone devoured my Butter Mayo deviled eggs and couldn’t get over how delicious they were! They all wanted to know my secret! I told them I used Butter Mayo! They all were intrigued and asked what butter mayo was so I showed them!
I highly suggest trying my butter mayo recipe! It is divine!
Actually, I loved being the chef so much that if you want me to be your private keto chef for an event or vacation, message me at Support@keto-adapted.com for pricing.
Butter Mayo
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Primal Kitchen Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon Redmond Real salt
- 1 cup butter melted (I recommend RAW Farms Dairy, click HERE and use code MARIA20 for 20%off)
- beef broth or water, to thin (Optional)
Instructions
- Place the egg, lemon juice, mustard and salt in a wide-mouth, pint-sized mason jar.
- Heat the butter until warm and melted.
- Place the immersion blender at the bottom of the jar. Turn the blender on and very slowly add the melted butter while moving the blender to the top. Be patient!
- Moving the blender slowly is key to getting the mayonnaise to emulsify. Voilà! Simple butter mayo!
- Place in the fridge and allow to chill. If the butter mayo is too thick for your liking, add a tablespoon of beef broth or water and stir to combine well.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Makes the best deviled eggs!

Recipe calls for one egg, but instructions say “place the yolks…” So do I use egg yolks (2?) or do I use one egg?
This would be a great way to use some of the egg yolks left over from PSMF bread if I can use just yolks!
I fixed it above.
Oh, I can imagine this butter mayo with a small clove of crushed garlic!
It would be an instant garlic dip!
Keep cooking with joy and pride,

Yum!!
Wow! What a delicious idea.
Why are they vegetarian?
Thanks for the mayo recipe Maria but in the ingredients you say 1 large egg and in the recipe it says ‘yolks’.
How many eggs do I put and would it be just the yolks? Thank you!
I fixed it above. 🙂
Thank you! 😀
Geez! What a nightmare for a nervous cook like myself, but what an adventure for someone like you, with positivity and mad skillz! The butter mayo sounds delish and I will definitely try your accidental recipe! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you!!
Ingredients list 1 large egg and instructions says to add egg yolks ?
Do you use whole egg? Do you use more than one yolk? I am confused?
I fixed it above. 🙂
Other mayo recipes call for the egg to be room temp. What do you advise…room temp or is a cold egg ok?
Either should work. 😉
Hi Maria! Your ingredients say 1 large egg & instructions say yolk. I’m assuming it’s 1 large egg separated & not the whole egg, correct?
This looks wonderful. Thanks.
I fixed it above. 🙂
What can I use the failed attempt for? Ive tried making mayo in the past and like this try I failed. Now I have a cup of melted butter with yolk, lemon and mustard to use up in something.
Maybe a sauce for steak? Also, you can try to repair a broken mayo like this:

I was intimidated by making mayo until I tried the immersion blender recipe. Now I can’t believe how easy it is. This butter mayo idea is the bomb. Will definitely be making it this week. Also, that banquet of food that your created (your photo) looks like a gift from an angel. I hope the people at that table realized how fortunate they were to experience your cooking.
Thanks!
Hello, The recipe calls for 1 egg but the instructions say to place yolks into mason jar. Can you please clarify? Thank you!
I fixed it above. 🙂
Excuse my comment. I see it’s been changed. Looking forward to making this!
Can I use lime instead of lemon? Allergic to lemon. Also allergic to dairy so for the butter can I use plant base butter?
Yes that will work for lemon. I don’t know of a healthy plant based butter, sorry. 🙂
I have made lard mayo using an almost exact recipe, but with melted (room temp) lard. I actually use goose fat, but my brother uses pig lard instead of the butter. Taste is different, but – provided you like the fat you use – still delicious! A tip for dairy free folk 🙂
Thanks!
Is it a yolk from a boiled egg or raw egg yolk
Raw egg.
Hello. The recipe calls for one whole egg but the directions says to “place the yolks”. What am I missing? Thanks!
Whole egg is used. 🙂
Yummm! I’ve made butter mayo before and it also makes THE BEST base for Ranch dip! You have to try butter mayo ranch next. I used it for egg salad too which was just delicious!
Thanks!
Which TV show was this, Maria? I live in Costa Rica and have friends who work at Hogar! I’d like to find your TV show! Do you have videos you could share with me? Or are they somewhere?
It is coming this summer. It is called “Reversed”. 🙂
I’ll absolutely have to try this mayo! I was wondering if ghee could be replaced in the same amount for butter, since in my family we do not all digest butter that well while ghee is a perfect food for all of us. This is a wonderful recipe to customize from time to time adding spices, garlic or whatever you are in the mood for, like very healthy mayo in the end: delish plain, wonderful in variations 🙂
Ghee should work. 🙂
This, Maria, is the best mayonnaise EVER! So easy to make and so delicious. Thank you for another winning recipe. I don’t know how you do it!
Thank you!!
Did you use salted or unsalted butter? I have some extra unsalted that was on sale.
I always thought butter should work since that’s what Hollandaise is.
Either will work. I used salted. 🙂
Hello from Denmark❤️
Thanks for a brilliant blog 🙏🏻
I love all your inspiration, and I will buy some of your EbookS 👍🏻
I try too make the butter mayo Yesterday, but is very thin, it looks like mayo, it taste delicius, but thin, Can it be because my bamix Stock blender doesen’t have a very slow Program? Hope, you have time to answer my question, sorry for my English🙈
Yes, try mixing slower. 🙂
I can’t have lemon juice, could I use a neutral vinegar instead? So eager to try this non-vegtable oil based option!
That should work. Just need a little acid. 😉
This is delicious! I could just eat it with a spoon.
Thanks!
Is it okay not to temper the eggs? I use farm fresh eggs for everything and they are not pasteurized. Does that matter?
I am fine with raw eggs as I trust mine are cleaned and fresh. But if you aren’t sure, you can temper them first.
This looks similar to the Carnivore hollandaise from your book. I just made the hollandaise for the first time. It was easy and delicious!
Thanks!
