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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Cut each round of Hermelin or Camembert cheese in half horizontally to create two thinner rounds from each. Set them aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Place a layer of the cut cheese rounds on top of the aromatics.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Before serving, remove from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Serve with gluten-free bread or crackers.
