🧀 Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches
Ingredients (Makes about 12 sandwiches)
-
1 box of Ritz Crackers
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tsp mustard (yellow or Dijon, depending on your preference)

1/2 tsp garlic powder
-
1/2 tsp onion powder
-
Paprika for sprinkling (optional)
-
12 slices deli ham (or turkey, or your choice of deli meat)

12 slices cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or American works great)
Instructions
1. Make the Spread
-
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Stir until smooth and well blended. Adjust seasoning to taste.
2. Assemble the Sandwiches

Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on one cracker.
-
Place a slice of cheese and a piece of deli meat (folded if necessary) on top of the cream cheese layer.
-
Top with another Ritz cracker to complete the sandwich.
3. Serve or Store
-
Once all the sandwiches are made, you can sprinkle a little paprika on top for a pop of color and extra flavor.
-
These can be served immediately or stored in the fridge for a few hours.
-
If you’re making these in advance, cover and refrigerate to keep them fresh. They taste great chilled!
Optional Add-ins & Variations:
-
Pickles: Add thin pickle slices for a tangy crunch.
-
Bacon: For extra flavor, add crispy bacon bits.
-
Chopped Herbs: Try adding finely chopped fresh herbs like dill or parsley to the spread for a fresh, vibrant twist.
