I LOVE when the holidays roll around because I get to eat more cheese and crackers during this time than at any other time out there.
My husband is a meat-and-potatoes man. But me? I love making a big snack board and serving this to myself or to my friends as a dinner option.
Nothing says “I Love You” more than cheese, meat, crackers, and lots and lots of honey!
That is how I came up with the recipe for prosciutto, brie, and honey-topped crackers.
Ingredients You Need for Prosciutto Brie and Honey Topped Crackers
- Crackers of choice (buttery rounds like Ritz work great)
- Brie cheese, cut into thin slices
- Prosciutto, torn or sliced into small pieces
- Honey for drizzling
- Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish (optional)
I was recently introduced to Breton Gluten-Free Crackers, and honestly, I may never go back to full gluten crackers again!
I was sent 3 flavors to try out — garlic and herb, flaxseed, and my favorite — white bean crackers.
Because of my love of Brie Cheese, I decided to pair the crackers with some fresh Brie Cheese, a piece of prosciutto, and then topped with dried cranberries, slivered almonds, and a drizzling of honey. That is how this recipe for Prosciutto Brie and Honey Topped Crackers was born,
It was the perfect bite, and those white bean crackers really set it over the top!
How to Make Prosciutto Brie and Honey Topped Crackers
Step 1: Prepare the Crackers
Lay your crackers out on a serving platter. No baking needed — this is a no-stress starter!
Step 2: Add the Brie
Place a thin slice of Brie onto each cracker. If you want the Brie a little softer and extra creamy, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Step 3: Add the Prosciutto
Top the Brie with a small curl or folded piece of prosciutto. The salty richness pairs beautifully with the mild creaminess of the cheese.
Step 4: Drizzle with Honey
Using a spoon or honey dipper, lightly drizzle each cracker with honey. This brings all the flavors together and adds that irresistible sweet note.
Step 5: Garnish (Optional)
For a pop of color and freshness, sprinkle a tiny bit of thyme or rosemary on top.
Serve immediately and watch them disappear!
If you have a gluten intolerance and think you have to forgo having crackers this holiday season, then think again.
These crackers are the best and have a crisp and light texture. I could see serving these alongside my Cranberry Jalapeño Dip or my Buffalo Chicken Dip.
These easy and quick party snack crackers are baked in a peanut-free facility, making them safe for the entire family. Plus, they have no trans-fats or cholesterol so they are better for you too!
How to Put Together the Perfect Cracker and Cheese Board for Prosciutto Brie and Honey Topped Crackers
I bought a cool cheeseboard this holiday season from one of our local businesses.
We took that board and loaded it up with all the Breton Gluten-Free Crackers we had on hand.
We put them at different angles of the board. Then we filled in the other sections with slices of Brie Cheese, dried figs, dried cranberries, honey, slivered almonds, and my favorite cut of meat — prosciutto.
You can also add other cheeses and meats as well. I would even add olives, little gherkin pickles, fun jams and jellies, and more. The idea here is to load the board with ALL the goodies you can and then dig in.
That's the beauty of the Breton Gluten-Free crackers. They are sturdy enough to load up with all the delicious fixings from your cheese and cracker board. They make the perfect cracker for my Prosciutto Brie and Honey Topped Crackers.
Tips for the Best Flavor
- Use good-quality prosciutto — it doesn’t have to be expensive, just thinly sliced.
- Don’t overload the crackers. A little Brie and a little prosciutto go a long way.
- Add honey right before serving to keep the crackers crisp.
- Try flavored crackers like cracked pepper or rosemary for a fun twist.
Make-Ahead Notes for Prosciutto Brie and Honey Topped Crackers
You can prep the Brie and prosciutto pieces ahead of time, but wait to assemble until right before your guests arrive. Crackers soften quickly once topped, so assembling last minute gives the best texture.
Perfect Pairings
These crackers shine alongside:
- Sparkling wine or champagne
- Charcuterie boards
- Fresh fruit (pears, figs, grapes)
- A holiday appetizer spread
