Tips & Variations
-
Mini sliders: Cut cheese and ham into smaller pieces to fit Ritz perfectly.
-
Spread it: Add a thin layer of mustard, cream cheese, or pesto for extra flavor.
-
Warm version: Place sandwiches on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 10–15 seconds to melt the cheese slightly.
-
Party platter: Arrange sandwiches on a tray with toothpicks and garnish with fresh herbs for a fun appetizer.
If you want, I can give a “fancy party version” with layers of cream cheese, pickles, and herbs that looks gourmet but takes just 5 minutes to make.
Do you want me to share that?
