Step 3: Butter the Tops

Arrange the assembled sandwiches closely together on a lined or lightly greased baking sheet. Using a pastry brush or spoon, brush melted butter generously over the tops of each cracker sandwich. This step adds flavor and helps the crackers bake to a golden, slightly crisp finish.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crackers are lightly golden and the filling inside is warm and melty.

Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.

Step 5: Cool Slightly and Serve

Remove the sandwiches from the oven and allow them to cool for about 3–5 minutes. This short resting time helps the filling set slightly, making them easier to handle.

Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Tips for Success

Soften the cream cheese fully to avoid lumps in the filling.
Use finely chopped fillings so the sandwiches stay neat and easy to eat.
Don’t overbake—Ritz crackers brown quickly.
Double the batch if you’re serving a crowd; these go fast!
