Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Ritz Crackers | 24 (for 12 sandwiches) |
| Cream Cheese (softened) | 100 g |
| Shredded Cheddar Cheese | 2 tablespoons |
| Sour Cream or Mayonnaise | 1 tablespoon |
| Chopped Deli Meat (ham, turkey, or salami) | 3–4 slices |
| Bell Pepper (finely chopped) | ½ (any color) |
| Fresh Parsley (chopped) | 1 tablespoon |
| Sweet Paprika | A pinch |
| Salt and Pepper | To taste |
Optional Add-ins:
– A dash of Worcestershire or hot sauce for a tangy kick
– Chopped pickles or olives for extra flavor
– Honey mustard or herb butter for spreading
Instructions
- Prepare the filling
In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream (or mayo), and shredded cheddar cheese until smooth. - Add the flavor mix-ins
Stir in chopped deli meat, bell pepper, parsley, and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until evenly combined. - Assemble the sandwiches
Spread about a teaspoon of the filling onto the flat side of one Ritz cracker. Top with another cracker to form a mini sandwich. Continue until all the filling is used. - Optional baking step
For warm, melty sandwiches, arrange them on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 5–7 minutes, until lightly golden and the filling softens. - Serve and enjoy
Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley or paprika. Serve warm or chilled — perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or quick snacks!
Tips
- For a sweet version, swap the savory filling for peanut butter and honey, or Nutella and banana slices.
- These sandwiches can be made ahead — just store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Want extra crunch? Add a tiny lettuce leaf or a slice of pickle before topping with the second cracker.
Enjoy !!
