Ah, got it 😄 You mean a Baked Cracker Sandwich—those are fun, crunchy, and cheesy little snacks that are perfect for parties or an easy treat. Think cheese + meat + crackers baked until melty and crispy.
🧀 Baked Cracker Sandwiches
Makes about 12–15 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 24 crackers (like Ritz, saltines, or buttery round crackers)
- 6–8 slices deli meat (ham, turkey, or roast beef)
- 6–8 slices cheese (cheddar, American, or Swiss)
- 2–3 tbsp butter, melted (optional, for brushing)
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or herbs for extra flavor
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2️⃣ Assemble sandwiches
- Take one cracker, top with cheese slice and a small piece of deli meat
- Top with another cracker to make a mini sandwich
- Optional: brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle a little garlic powder or paprika
3️⃣ Bake
- Bake 8–10 minutes until cheese melts and edges are slightly golden
4️⃣ Serve
- Let cool slightly (so cheese sets a bit)
- Serve warm as a snack or appetizer
🔥 Pro Tips
- Use thin slices of meat and cheese so sandwiches heat evenly
- For extra crunch, broil 1–2 minutes at the end, but watch carefully
- Make mini sandwiches for parties—they’re super cute and easy to pick up
Variations
- 🧄 Garlic butter: brush tops with garlic butter before baking
- 🌶 Spicy: add a slice of jalapeño or a dab of hot sauce
- 🥓 Bacon cheesy: add a small piece of cooked bacon inside
- 🥬 Veggie twist: add a slice of tomato or pickle inside
If you want, I can give you a loaded version with multiple cheeses, herbs, and even a drizzle of mustard or aioli that bakes right into the crackers—it’s like a gourmet party snack 😋
