Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg (room temperature)

Instructions
- In a tall, narrow container, combine the egg and Dijon mustard.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the egg and mustard together for about 10 seconds until well combined.

- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then transfer to a clean jar.
Notes
