Savory s’mores bring together the best parts of a charcuterie board and a classic campfire treat: melty cheese, salty meats, crunchy crackers, and a little sweet heat.
They’re an easy, customizable way to bring a gourmet twist to cozy snacking. Start with a sturdy cracker or slice of baguette, add a cheese that melts beautifully, layer on cured meat or another savory bite, then finish with jam, chutney, peppers, or pickles.
For a fire pit or grill, mini Brie, cheese curds, cheddar cubes, and Halloumi are all great choices. If you’re warming the cheese in a pan or under the broiler, try Fontina, Gruyère, Raclette, or mozzarella. Large, hearty crackers help everything stay together, while prosciutto, salami, smoked turkey, crispy bacon, or even smoked mussels bring the savory side.
Our favorite pairing: Warm Supreme Brie Bites for about 5–10 seconds until gooey, then layer onto Ines Rosales Olive Oil Crackers or Firehook Baked Crackers with Maestri Prosciutto. Finish with Dalmatia Fig Spread or their Chili Fig Spread for a sweet and spicy finish.
Other combinations to try: Brie with apricot jam and Dijon, cheddar with smoked turkey and cranberry jelly, Halloumi with smoked mussels and cucumber, or Fontina with prosciutto and fig jam.
It’s a simple format with plenty of room for creative combinations, making savory s’mores an easy addition to fall entertaining and snacking!
