Ingredients
Base
- 16 buttery crackers
Cheese Layer
- 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
Toppings
- 8 slices cooked bacon
- ¼ cup caramelized onions
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- Fresh thyme leaves
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Broiler: Preheat your oven’s broiler to high heat. This setting will quickly melt the cheese and lightly toast the crackers for perfect texture.
- Prepare Crackers Base: Arrange half of the buttery crackers in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they’re spaced evenly for uniform cooking.
- Add Cheese and Broil: Place one slice of sharp cheddar cheese on each cracker. Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Layer Toppings: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Top each melted cheese cracker with a slice of crispy cooked bacon, a spoonful of caramelized onions, and a small dollop of Dijon mustard if you like a little tangy kick.
- Season and Garnish: Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves and freshly ground black pepper over each assembled s’more for an aromatic finish.
- Complete the S’more: Top each with a remaining buttery cracker to create a sandwich-like s’more. Serve immediately while warm and the cheese is melty for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For a different flavor profile, try substituting sharp cheddar with smoked Gouda or Gruyère cheese.
- Serve these savoury s’mores immediately after assembling to enjoy the melted cheese and warm bacon at their best.
- Add thinly sliced tomatoes or apple for an added sweet-savory twist and extra freshness.
