Did you see my recent recipe for bacon grease salad dressing? Well only a few days later I had acquired more bacon fat and decided to get creative.

I adapted my recipe for homemade lemon mayo by substituting the olive oil with the bacon grease. The result was a glossy and silky-smooth mayo that had a TON of flavor. And it was super easy to make! 

How to Make Bacon Mayonnaise

If the bacon grease is solid, melt half a cup of it in the microwave then let it cool to room temperature. When the grease is ready, whisk together egg yolks, white wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard together in a bowl.

Very slowly dribble the bacon fat into the bowl, whisking constantly.

Note: You can also make this mayo in a small blender - which is less work but not as satisfying!

When all the fat has been incorporated and a mayonnaise has formed, taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as desired.

Transfer to a bowl or jar, cover and store in the fridge for up to three days.

Here are some suggested uses for your bacon fat mayo:

• Use it to make low carb coleslaw
• Spread it onto chicken or turkey skin before roasting
• Add it to a filling for deviled eggs
• Enjoy it on a burger
• Slather it onto a low carb grilled cheese
• Add herbs and garlic to make an aioli to serve with fish or veggies
• Or how about spreading it onto this No-Bread BLT?!?!?
