These festive little snacks can be made easily and are a sophisticated savory riff on the campfire treat we all know and love: s’mores. You can use round shortbread cookies or the fat fingers, then top them with Brie or another favorite soft cheese. I like to add a bit of salty prosciutto as a counterpoint to the sweet, buttery shortbread, but you can omit it if you want a vegetarian version. A bit of fruit preserves (or a small wedge of fresh pear, persimmon, fig, peach, or plum) would be a nice addition, added after the snacks come out of the oven.
