Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 rounds Hermelin cheese (or Camembert)
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 1.5 cups Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Czech or other pickling spice mix
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 leaves Bay leaves
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 teaspoon Crushed white peppercorns
Instructions
Prepare the marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, pickling spice mix, and crushed white peppercorns. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are fully blended.
Cut each round of Hermelin or Camembert cheese in half horizontally to create two thinner rounds from each. Set them aside.
In a sterilized glass jar or airtight container, layer some of the sliced onions, a few garlic slices, a couple of thyme sprigs, and a bay leaf on the bottom.
Place a layer of the cut cheese rounds on top of the aromatics.
Repeat layering with the remaining onion, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and cheese until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of aromatics on top.
Pour the prepared marinade over the layered cheese until completely covered. Gently press down on the solid ingredients to ensure they are all submerged in the liquid.
Securely cover the jar or container with a lid. Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 3 to 5 days to let the flavors blend and infuse into the cheese.
Before serving, remove from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Serve with gluten-free bread or crackers.
