About the recipe
You know when you’re out camping, sitting around the fire, and you just want something seriously delicious? A little snack, a little nibble. Well, I’ve taken the humble s’more and given it a savoury twist – and let me tell you, it is an absolute revelation!

Ingredients
OPTION 1
200g Cheddar cheese
8 teaspoons apricot jam
8 sprigs of thyme
16 sourdough crackers
OPTION 2
200g Cheddar cheese
1 beef tomato (130g)
½ a bunch of fresh basil (15g)
16 oatcakes
Method
Light the barbecue or a fire. Soak 8 skewers in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking (if using wooden).
For option 1: cut the Cheddar into eight chunks and thread each onto a skewer. Pick the thyme leaves. Hold the skewers over a warm fire until the cheese is soft and melty, but still in one piece (roughly 5 minutes), then sandwich between sourdough crackers with the apricot jam and a pinch of thyme leaves.
For option 2: cut the Cheddar into eight chunks and thread each onto a skewer. Slice the tomato into 8 pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper. Pick the basil leaves. Hold the skewers over a warm fire until the cheese is soft and melty, but still in one piece (roughly 5 minutes), then sandwich between oatcakes with a slice of tomato and a few basil leaves.
