Homemade mayonnaise is very easy to make and this version is hot and spicy. If you are concerned about using the raw egg, purchase irradiated eggs available in most markets.

- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

In a food processor or blender, combine the egg, mustard, hot sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire, salt, black, pepper and red pepper flakes. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds.
