Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine eggs, sugar, vinegar, mustard, and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a good boil, stirring constantly.
- Set aside and let cool. Add mayonnaise to the cooled mixture.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier dressing, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. If you're looking to reduce sugar, you can substitute some of the sugar with honey or maple syrup. Keep an eye on the saucepan while boiling to prevent burning the mixture. Ensure the butter is fully melted before adding the mayonnaise for a smooth consistency.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. If the dressing thickens, simply stir in a little water or vinegar to reach your desired consistency. Avoid freezing, as it can change the texture of the mayonnaise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use egg substitutes for this recipe?
Yes, you can use a commercial egg replacer or flaxseed meal mixed with water as an alternative to eggs. However, this may slightly alter the texture and flavor of the dressing, so adjust the other ingredients accordingly.
How can I make this dressing spicier?
To add a kick to your dressing, consider incorporating a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce. You can also mix in some finely chopped jalapeños for a fresh, spicy flavor that complements salads well.
