About 1 ½ cups This mayonnaise differs from the above recipe in that it uses a whole egg and starts off with oil already added to the egg, with lemon juice added later (both of these tweaks help the emulsion form in the blender). Compared to the other methods, this one consistently produces the stiffest texture. You can also make this version in a food processor; use the plastic blade if you have one, as it seems to make a slightly lighter sauce.
