🧂
Ingredients:
- 1 box Ritz crackers (about 60 crackers, for 30 sandwiches)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, finely shredded
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
- A pinch of salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: a sprinkle of paprika or everything bagel seasoning for garnish
🧀
Instructions:
- Prepare the filling:
In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and diced red bell pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for flavor balance. - Assemble the sandwiches:
Lay half of the Ritz crackers on a tray, salted side down. Spoon or pipe a small amount of the cheese mixture onto each cracker. Then top with another cracker, salted side up, to make little sandwich bites. - Chill for best texture:
Place the sandwiches in the refrigerator for about 20–30 minutes before serving. This helps the filling firm up and the flavors blend beautifully. - Serve and enjoy:
Arrange on a serving platter, sprinkle with paprika or everything bagel seasoning for a pop of color, and watch your guests grab them by the handful!
💡
Tips & Variations:
- Add chopped cooked bacon for a smoky twist.
- Swap cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
- For a festive touch, use red and green bell peppers during the holidays.
- You can even make a sweet version by mixing cream cheese with honey and fruit jam instead of veggies!
