Ingredients
Ingredients
- Ritz crackers – 24 crackers
- Cheese slices (such as cheddar or American) – 6 slices, cut into quarters
- Deli meat (such as ham or turkey) – 6 slices, cut into quarters
- Spread (cream cheese, mayonnaise, or mustard) – about 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Prepare the spread: In a small bowl, mix or soften your choice of spread like cream cheese, mayonnaise, or mustard until smooth and easy to spread.
- Layer cheese on crackers: Place 24 Ritz crackers on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the prepared spread on half of the crackers. Top each with a quarter slice of cheese.
- Add deli meat: Place a quarter slice of deli meat over the cheese on each cracker.
- Complete sandwiches: Spread the remaining crackers with the spread on one side, then gently press each one on top of the meat layer to create sandwiches.
- Chill and serve: Arrange the sandwiches on a platter, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving chilled to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use any favorite deli meat and cheese combination to customize flavors.
- For a vegetarian option, omit deli meat and add sliced vegetables like cucumber or tomato.
- These sandwiches are best served within 24 hours to maintain cracker crispness.
- Keep refrigerated until serving to prevent the crackers from becoming soggy.
