1
Whisk together egg yolk, lemon juice, and vinegar until combined.
2
Slowly whisk in the oil, drizzled in a very thin stream, beginning a few drops at a time. Continue very slowly drizzling in the oil, whisking all the while, until all the oil is combined and the mayonnaise is very thick (this could take 10 minutes).
3
If at any point you add too much oil, stop pouring and whisk the mayonnaise mixture until the oil is fully incorporated. Then resume the slow addition of oil while whisking.
4
Once the mayonnaise is completely emulsified, whisk in the shallot, tarragon, salt and black pepper. Taste for seasoning, and add more salt and/or pepper as necessary.
5
Refrigerate in a covered container at least an hour so the flavors meld.
6
Fill halved and pitted avocados with the shallot and tarragon mayonnaise and serve.
7
Mayonnaise can be safely stored in the refrigerator about 1 week.
