🧂 Ingredients

1 cup Neutral Oil

(I use canola)
1.5 tbsp Paprika

(Sweet, not smoked)
1.5 tbsp Salt
2 Fresno Chilies, thinly sliced

or other mildly spicy chili
1/2 White Onion, sliced
8 oz Hermilin or Camembert, cut into cubes

the younger the cheese the better
2 Bay Leaves
1.5 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp all spice berries

Instructions

1 Make the marinade. Mix the oil, paprika, and salt together in a jar or small
bowl.
2 In two small or one lager jar, layer the cheese. Start with a layer of white
onion pieces and chili. Top the onion layer with cubes of cheese. Then add
another layer of onion and pepper. For a small jar, stop here, for a large jar
continue to layer until all ingredients are used and the jar is filled.
3 Tuck the bay leaf into the side of the jar. Sprinkle the peppercorns and
allspice berries over the top of the ingredients.
4 Pour the marinade over the cheese. Shake the jar(s) gently to make sure the
marinade has filled all of the nooks and crannies in between ingredients.
5 Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 days and up to 3 weeks.
6 Serve small jars with a large fork. For large jars, scoop a mixture of cheese
and onions onto a plate and serve with bread.
