Step 4 — Add the Top Crackers
Place another Ritz cracker on top of each filled cracker, flat side down, creating a mini sandwich.
Press gently so everything sticks together.
Step 5 (Optional) — Make Them Warm & Melty
If you want a gooey, toasted version:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place assembled savory sandwiches on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 5–7 minutes, just until the cheese is warm and melty.
This creates irresistible “Ritz melt sandwiches.”
Step 6 — Garnish and Serve
Serve as they are, or take them to the next level:
Savory Toppings
- Sprinkle with herbs (parsley, chives).
- Add everything-bagel seasoning on top.
- Drizzle honey for a sweet-savory twist.
Sweet Toppings
- Dip half the sandwich in melted chocolate.
- Add sprinkles or chopped nuts before the chocolate hardens.
- Dust with powdered sugar.
