Instructions

Go outside and get the firepit started. Return inside and preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place the baguette on a baking sheet and drizzle lightly all over with olive oil. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until lightly toasted but still a bit chewy.
Meanwhile, arrange the non-melty cheese, sausages, pickled sweet and spicy peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, pears, apples, triple-crème cheese, honey, and mustard in small bowls and plates on a large serving tray.
Add the toasted baguette slices to the serving tray in a pile and bring the food outside to serve your guests, along with a stack of smaller plates for them to eat from.
To construct a savory s’more, place two baguette slices on a plate and top one slice with a combination of any of the following ingredients: sweet peppers, spicy peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, pears, apple slices, triple-crème cheese, honey, or mustard.
Place a slice of sausage or cheese on the end of a skewer and hold over the fire, making sure not to hold it too close to the flame. Gently turn the skewer a few times to ensure even cooking. Cook the sausage or cheese until golden brown in parts and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully remove the sausage or cheese from the skewer and place on top of the baguette with the fillings.
Place the other baguette slice on top and eat it like a mini sandwich. Enjoy immediately.
