Tips:

To make the mayonnaise, use a blender or food processor. This will help you get a smooth and creamy texture.
If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can make the mayonnaise by hand. Just whisk the egg yolks and mustard together in a bowl until they are thick and creamy. Then, slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking constantly.
Use a good quality olive oil for the mayonnaise. This will give it a rich and flavorful taste.
Add the piment d'espelette to the mayonnaise to taste. Start with a small amount and add more until you reach the desired flavor.
The mayonnaise can be used as a spread for sandwiches, wraps, and burgers. It can also be used as a dip for vegetables, chips, and crackers.

Conclusion:

Piment d'espelette mayonnaise is a delicious and versatile condiment. It is easy to make and can be used in a variety of dishes. The smoky and slightly spicy flavor of the piment d'espelette adds a unique and flavorful touch to the mayonnaise. Whether you are using it as a spread, a dip, or a sauce, piment d'espelette mayonnaise is sure to be a hit.
