Notes

It's recommended to use room-temperature eggs. I rarely do and never have an issue.
Adjust the seasoning to taste. I tend to add more seasoning to punch up the flavor. 
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, it will thicken as it cools.
If you want to make it extra fancy, use white pepper. You'll avoid having black flecks your mayo.
