Savory Cheese S'mores for Home or Camp Fire!!
"This is an adopted recipe from Mean Chef. Mean Chefs words are:
These little tid-bits are just plain yummy! They are great to fix when you are camping, or at home! Cooks Note: Bocconcini are small balls of fresh mozzarella. If they are unavailable, cut 8 ounces fresh mozzarella into 1-inch cubes."

4-6 crackers

directions

For Camp Fire:
- For each s'more, set out two crackers and spread one with about 1 teaspoon of pesto or olive spread. Top with a basil leaf, if using.
- Spear a cheese ball or cube on a long stick or skewer. If using fresh mozzarella, squeeze cheese with a paper towel to remove excess water.
- Hold skewered cheese over an open fire or very hot coals. Cook for about 2 minutes, turning skewers to soften and brown cheese evenly on all sides.
- Using a dry cracker, a fork or a knife, scrape cheese onto cracker with spread and basil leaf.
- Top with second cracker to make a sandwich. Eat immediately.
-
For Home:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Use 16 thin slices of baguette in place of crackers. Top each slice with a bit of pesto or tapenade, then a piece of cheese.
- Cook in oven 8 to 10 minutes, until bread is crisp and cheese is melted.
- If desired, finish under broiler for a golden top. Garnish with shredded basil.

I grew up in California and now live in Seattle Washington,and I really love it here! I've been cooking since I was about 10 and still enjoy cooking till this day. I don't really have a favorite food as I enjoy many different dishes. I do really enjoy cooking on a smoker, the taste is out of this world. I also enjoy barbecue, Italian, Mexican and Chinese just to name a few. As you will notice I also enjoy taking pictures of dishes I make, there's nothing like getting that great shot. Thank you for stopping in, I hope you enjoy my site!
