Ingredients
- 2 wheels Camembert cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 100 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 pieces Bay leaves

Instructions
Slice each Camembert cheese wheel horizontally to create two thinner circles from each wheel.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Place the garlic slices, fresh thyme, and rosemary on half of the Camembert slices. Sprinkle with black peppercorns and red chili flakes.
Cover with the other half of the Camembert slices, creating a sandwich with the herbs and spices in the middle.
Place the prepared cheese into a glass jar, stacking them gently to maintain shape.
In a small bowl, mix together the extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, bay leaves, and salt.
Pour the oil mixture over the cheese in the jar, ensuring everything is submerged. Add more olive oil if needed.
Seal the jar tightly and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 days to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Keto Hermelin as an appetizer or as a topping on keto-friendly bread or crackers, and enjoy!
