Each brand of bacon will be a little bit different when it comes to grease content. For this recipe I used 20 ounces (2 packages) of ButcherBox Bacon- look at all these bacon sprinkles that we get too!
Use Bacon Grease Mayonnaise in the following recipes:
- Ranch Deviled Eggs (Whole 30, GAPS, Paleo)
- Creamy Chili Lime Mayo and Salad Dressing (Keto, GAPS)
- Bright and Healthy Egg Salad (Grain Free, Low Carb, GAPS Friendly)
Bacon Grease Mayonnaise
Bacon mayonnaise is a high fat creamy condiment made with just bacon grease, egg, and salt. If your bacon is particularly salty, omit the salt.

Ingredients
- 1 whole egg or 2 egg yolks room temperature
- 1 cup bacon grease melted but not too hot to touch
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Immersion Blender Directions:
-
Place egg in the bottom of a quart wide-mouth jar or other tall skinny vessel that holds about a quart.
-
Gently pour warm-but-not-hot bacon grease over the egg.
-
Let the egg settle to the bottom by leaving the egg and bacon grease for about a minute.
-
Gently place the immersion blender all the way to the bottom of the jar, where the egg is.
-
Run on high, keeping at the bottom until you see mayo start to form (it will look white and creamy) and then very slowly pull up, taking approximately 20 seconds flat on the bottom of the jar and then an additional 20 seconds to pull up slowly through the jar.
-
You've made mayonnaise!
-
Cover and refrigerate. Use within 5 days, best used slightly warm (like right now!) because it will solidify in the fridge.
Blender Directions:
-
Put the egg in the high-powered blender. Blend on medium, until combined.
-
With blender on high, slowly drizzle in warmed bacon grease, a little bit at a time so that the mixture has time to thicken.
-
Drizzling in should take about 1 minute total.
-
Continue to blend mixture for another 1-2 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
-
Transfer to a wide-mouth mason jar, cover and refrigerate.
-
Keep in the fridge up to 5 days.

I saw somewhere else an idea you might like. Follow your directions above, but only with the egg yolk. Once the recipie is complete, blend in the egg white.
It will give you more of a liquid texture that sets up in the fridge to that perfect mayo consistency.
