Here’s a simple and delicious way to make Baked Ham and Cheese Ritz Cracker Bites—perfect for snacks or appetizers:
Ingredients
- Ritz crackers – 1 sleeve
- Sliced ham – cut into small pieces to fit crackers
- Cheese slices – cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite, cut to size
- Butter – 1/4 cup, melted
- Optional: Dijon mustard or honey mustard for a little zing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Assemble bites:
- Place a piece of ham on each cracker.
- Top with a piece of cheese.
- Optional: Spread a tiny dab of mustard under the cheese for extra flavor.
- Brush with butter: Lightly brush melted butter over the top of each cracker bite.
- Bake: 8–10 minutes, until the cheese melts and edges of crackers are slightly golden.
- Serve warm: Let cool slightly so cheese sets a little, then enjoy.
These bites are savory, cheesy, and crunchy, and they make a great finger food for parties or snacks.
If you want, I can also give a shortcut version with mini muffin tins so they bake evenly and hold together better.
Do you want me to do that?
