Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 wheels Hermelin cheese (or Camembert)
- 200 milliliters Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 4 Bay leaves
- 1.5 teaspoons Whole black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Dried chili flakes
- 1 medium Onion
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
Instructions
Slice the Hermelin cheese wheels horizontally to create two rounds from each wheel.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Slice the onion into rings.
In a clean jar or suitable container with a lid, pour a small layer of olive oil to coat the bottom.
Layer the cheese slices in the container, sprinkling each with sliced garlic, onion rings, bay leaves, black peppercorns, dried chili flakes, and fresh thyme.
Drizzle with a bit of white vinegar and enough olive oil to cover the cheese completely.
Continue layering until all ingredients are used, ensuring all cheese is submerged in the olive oil.
Seal the container tightly and refrigerate. Allow the cheese to marinate for at least 3 days to ensure full flavor infusion.
Serve the marinated Hermelin with sliced low carb bread or vegetables.
