Description
A fun and delicious savory twist on the classic campfire treat, these Savoury S’mores combine crispy crackers, melted cheddar cheese, and smoky cured meat for an irresistible snack or appetizer perfect for parties or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Crackers
- 12 savory crackers
Cheese and Meat
- 6 slices cheddar cheese, halved
- 6 slices smoked turkey or beef salami
Optional Toppings
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Fresh chives, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for melting the cheese perfectly.
- Arrange the base crackers: Place half of the savory crackers evenly on a baking tray to serve as the base layer of your s’mores.
- Add cheese and smoked meat: Top each cracker with a halved slice of cheddar cheese followed by a slice of smoked turkey or beef salami for that smoky, savory flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 3–5 minutes, just until the cheese begins to melt and soften without losing its shape.
- Add mustard (optional): Remove the tray from the oven and, if desired, add a small amount of Dijon mustard on each melted cheese and meat stack to add a tangy kick.
- Create sandwiches: Place the remaining crackers on top of each cheese and meat stack to form sandwich-style s’mores.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped chives over the assembled s’mores for a fresh, mild onion flavor, then serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- Try different cheeses such as Gouda, Swiss, or mozzarella for varied flavors and melting qualities.
- These can also be prepared on a grill or over a campfire for an authentic outdoor experience.
- Best served immediately while the cheese is warm and gooey for the best texture and flavor.
