S’mores, meet your savory side.
This savory s’mores recipe swaps the chocolate and marshmallows for bubbling cheese, delicate prosciutto, a drizzle of hot honey and fragrant rosemary—all pressed between two irresistibly crispy Milton’s Gourmet Crackers.
The result? Salty. Smoky. Cheesy. Sweet. Crispy. And very likely to disappear before you’ve finished making the next batch.
Make them over the grill, around the campfire or right under your broiler. They’re an easy appetizer for summer nights, casual get-togethers or any occasion that could use a little more melted cheese.
Our favorite combination: Milton’s Everything Gourmet Crackers + Gruyère + prosciutto + hot honey. Every bite brings a little bit of everything—in the best possible way.
Why You’ll Love These Savory S’mores
Classic s’mores give us a pretty great blueprint: something crispy on the outside with something gloriously melty in the middle.
We simply took things in a more savory direction.
Milton’s Gourmet Crackers bring the crisp. Cheese gets warm, browned and wonderfully melty. Prosciutto adds a delicate savory bite while hot honey brings just enough sweetness and heat to keep you coming back for another.
Fresh rosemary finishes the whole thing with an aromatic pop.
No elaborate appetizer spread required. Just stack, toast and crunch.
Savory S’mores Recipe
Suggested Yield: 4 savory s’mores
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: About 5 minutes
Total Time: About 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 8 Milton’s Everything Gourmet Crackers or Milton’s Crispy Sea Salt Gourmet Crackers
- 4 thick slices cheddar, brie or Gruyère
- 4 pieces prosciutto
- Hot honey, for drizzling
- Fresh rosemary, for finishing
- Fig jam, optional
How to Make Savory S’mores
- Build the cheesy center. Place a thick slice of cheese on one Milton’s Gourmet Cracker, then top it with a second cracker.
- Get things melty. Toast your cracker sandwiches over a grill, on a campfire grate or under the broiler until the cheese is bubbling, browned and beautifully melty. Keep a close eye on them so the crackers stay crisp.
- Bring on the prosciutto. Carefully open each warm s’more and tuck in a little prosciutto.
- Finish with flavor. Drizzle with hot honey and add a little fresh rosemary. For a sweet-savory twist, spread on a small spoonful of fig jam too.
- Press and serve. Gently sandwich everything together and serve immediately while the cheese is still warm and melty.
Pick Your Perfect Savory S’more Combination
The beauty of this recipe? There’s more than one delicious way to stack it.
Everything + Gruyère + Prosciutto + Hot Honey
This is our go-to. The savory seasoning of Everything Gourmet Crackers meets nutty Gruyère, delicate prosciutto and a sweet kick of hot honey.
Crispy Sea Salt + Brie + Fig Jam
Keep the cracker classic and let creamy brie and rich fig jam do their thing. Finish with rosemary and hot honey if you want a little extra contrast.
Crispy Sea Salt + Cheddar + Prosciutto
Sharp cheddar brings big flavor while Crispy Sea Salt Gourmet Crackers provide a light, crispy base for all that melty goodness.
Think of these as inspiration, not rules. The best stack is the one that makes you reach for another.
Tips for Savory S’mores Success
Cut the cheese thick enough to melt without disappearing. You want a satisfyingly cheesy center that can hold its own between two crispy crackers.
Add the prosciutto after toasting. This keeps its texture delicate while letting the cheese get all the heat it needs.
Keep an eye on the broiler. Crackers and cheese can brown quickly, so this isn’t the moment to wander away from the kitchen.
Serve them right away. Savory s’mores are at their best when the cheese is warm, the honey is drippy and the crackers still have plenty of crunch.
Set up a s’mores bar. Put out a few cheeses, prosciutto, rosemary, hot honey and fig jam, then let everyone create their own combination. It’s an easy way to turn appetizer duty into part of the fun.
No Campfire? No Problem.
The campfire atmosphere is a nice bonus. The melted cheese is the requirement.
Savory s’mores work just as well on an outdoor grill or underneath your oven’s broiler. That makes them just as ready for a backyard gathering as they are for movie night, game day or an impromptu appetizer before dinner.
And if these crackers have you thinking about your next snack creation, there are plenty more ideas waiting in our Gourmet Cracker recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are savory s’mores?
Savory s’mores take the familiar crispy-melty-crispy format of traditional s’mores and give it a savory spin. This version layers Milton’s Gourmet Crackers with melted cheese, prosciutto, hot honey and rosemary.
What cheese is best for savory s’mores?
Gruyère is our favorite for its rich, nutty flavor and beautiful melt. Brie gives the s’mores an extra-creamy center while cheddar creates a sharper, more familiar cheese flavor. Try all three and consider it very important research.
Which Milton’s Gourmet Crackers should I use?
Everything Gourmet Crackers add an extra layer of savory flavor that pairs especially well with Gruyère and prosciutto. Crispy Sea Salt Gourmet Crackers offer a more classic base that gives ingredients like brie, fig jam and hot honey room to shine.
Can I make savory s’mores without a campfire?
Absolutely. Use a grill or broiler to melt and brown the cheese, then add your prosciutto, hot honey and rosemary just before serving.
Can I make savory s’mores ahead of time?
You can prep all your ingredients in advance, but the s’mores themselves are best assembled and toasted just before serving. That way you get warm, melty cheese and plenty of cracker crunch.
