A red and white checkered cloth peeks through like the perfect backdrop for these savory smores atop newspaper on a rustic wooden surface.

Ingredients

Here’s what you need to pack for your savory s’mores board:

  • Babybel rounds or mini rounds of creamy brie
  • Salami slices
  • Slices of ham
  • Breton crackers (or your favorite crackers like Ritz or Trader Joe’s options)
  • Jam (we love a spicy chutney, but fig jam, raspberry, or peach work too!)
  • Bread and butter pickles
  • Hot honey
  • Everything bagel seasoning
Two marshmallows on metal skewers are ready to be toasted over a sandy-colored log, adding a twist to savory smores. A red and white checkered cloth, sliced pickles, and round crackers are placed on a wooden surface in the background.

Instructions

1. Prepare all your ingredients and lay them out on a wooden cutting board.

2. Skewer a round of Babybel cheese or brie on a marshmallow roasting stick.

3. Carefully melt the cheese over the hot fire pit coals. Avoid direct flames—cheese burns fast! Heat until it’s just melty.

4. Place the gooey cheese on a large cracker and layer with salami, ham, and pickles.

5. Add a small spoonful of fig jam (or your jam of choice), a drizzle of hot honey, and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.

Small crackers topped with cucumber slices, melted cheese, and a piece of meat resemble savory smores on a wooden surface with a red and white checkered cloth. A few crumbs and extra crackers are scattered nearby, alongside a bowl of dipping sauce.

6. Take a bite, let your taste buds explode, and try not to eat the whole batch at once!

Pro tip: If you’re making these at home, you can use a baking sheet and a BBQ grill to melt your cheese instead!

Tips & Tricks

  • Choose the right cheese – while Babybel rounds and brie are the MVPs here, you can also experiment with Trader Joe’s creamy brie, red pepper cheese, or even a slice of cheddar.
  • Upgrade your crackers – graham crackers might be classic for sweet s’mores, but for savory ones, go for Ritz crackers, Breton rounds, or even a toasted baguette slice.
  • Don’t skip the jam – that little bit of sweetness from fig jam or tomato sauce balances the saltiness of the meat and cheese perfectly.
  • Mix up your toppings – try an apple slice, red pepper, or a dab of mustard for even more flavor combos.
  • Make it a spread – set up a whole savory s’mores board for your camping crew and let everyone build their own masterpiece!

What’s the best way to pack these ingredients for camping?
