Ingredients
- 2 wheels Hermelin cheese (or Camembert)

- 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
Directions
Step 1
Slice the Hermelin cheese wheels horizontally to create two rounds from each wheel.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Slice the onion into rings.
Step 3
In a clean jar or suitable container with a lid, pour a small layer of olive oil to coat the bottom.
Step 4
Layer the cheese slices in the container, sprinkling each with sliced garlic, onion rings, bay leaves, black peppercorns, dried chili flakes, and fresh thyme.
