Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches

Instructions

1. Layer It Up: Place half of the Ritz crackers on a tray. Top each one with a small slice of meat and cheese.
2. Add Condiments: If desired, add a tiny dollop of mayo or mustard on top of the cheese.
3. Top It Off: Place a second Ritz cracker on top to create a sandwich.
4. Garnish (Optional): Secure each sandwich with a toothpick and add a small pickle or olive for an extra touch.
5. Chill & Serve: Chill in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes for best texture. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Variations to Try

• Sweet & Savory: Add a bit of honey mustard or a thin apple slice for a sweet-savory combo.
• Spicy Kick: Use pepper jack cheese and a slice of jalapeño.
• Veggie Delight: Skip the meat and use hummus, cucumber, and cheese for a vegetarian version.
• Southern Style: Use pimento cheese spread instead of deli slices.

Pro Tips

• Don’t overfill: Since Ritz crackers are delicate, keep fillings light to avoid breaking the crackers.
• Make ahead: These sandwiches can be made a few hours ahead—just keep them covered in the fridge.
• Great for kids: Make smaller versions with peanut butter & jelly or cheese spread for little ones.
