TikTok Loves Savory S’Mores and You Will Too: A Salty Version of the Crowd-Pleasing Bonfire Snack
When you think of a bonfire, s’mores immediately come to mind. However, TikTok has given this treat a surprise makeover by turning them from sweet to savory. Can’t picture what a savory s’more would look like? Think roasting a piece of cheese instead of a marshmallow, sandwiching it between crackers and condiments of your choice and, well, eating it while it’s warm. It’s a treat for anyone who prefers something salty, while everyone else is indulging their sweet tooth. Read on for more on savory s’mores and an easy guide for making them as a fun party treat!
What are savory s’mores?
These s’mores take the campfire staple to a whole new level as cheese, such as brie, cheddar or mozzarella, is roasted until it’s browned and gooey. The cheese is stuffed between two crackers or toasted slices of bread with olives, fig jam or other condiments. As expected, the s’mores are packed with savory flavors—along with a slight smokiness when you cook the cheese over an open fire.
Easy tip for prepping savory s’mores in advance
Savory s’mores are great to serve at gatherings because guests can get creative and make a delicious treat using their favorite ingredients. To prepping the s’mores easier, create a DIY spread by arranging the ingredients on a large platter or board. Keep condiments in small bowls to prevent their juices from seeping into the cheese or crackers. Cover the DIY spread and keep it chilled in the fridge until you’re ready to cook and assemble the s’mores. You can also place the platter in a large cooler and transport it to an event.
Can you make savory s’mores without a campfire?
The crackling sound and amber glow of a campfire makes eating s’mores more of an experience. But, if it’s easier to use a stove flame or your oven’s broiler to roast the cheese then go for it. Any way to whip up savory s’mores is completely fine in our book! (Read our story on oven-baked s’mores for guidance on preparing your savory version using this method.)
