How to Make Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and seasoning. Stir until smooth and well blended. If using bacon or ham, fold it in gently.
Step 2: Assemble the Sandwiches
Lay half of the Ritz crackers flat-side up. Spoon or spread a small amount of filling onto each cracker. Top with another cracker, gently pressing down to create a sandwich.
Step 3: Chill for Best Texture
Place the assembled sandwiches on a tray and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes. This helps the filling firm up and makes the sandwiches easier to handle.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Arrange on a serving platter and garnish with chopped chives or green onions if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
