Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches
Lay out half of your Ritz crackers on a clean surface, salted side down. Using a small spoon or butter knife, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on top of each cracker.
Place another Ritz cracker on top of each, salted side up, to create a sandwich. Press gently so the filling spreads to the edges without spilling out.
Step 4: Garnish (Optional)
If you want your sandwiches to look festive, sprinkle some finely chopped chives or parsley on top. You can also drizzle them lightly with honey for a sweet-and-savory effect.
Step 5: Chill Before Serving
Place the sandwiches on a tray and refrigerate them for at least 20–30 minutes before serving. This helps the filling firm up and makes the sandwiches easier to pick up and bite into.
Serving Ideas
- Party Platter: Arrange them neatly on a large tray with other finger foods like cheese cubes, olives, and fruit.
