Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 sleeve of Ritz crackers

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your workspace: Lay out a sheet of parchment paper or a clean tray to assemble your sandwiches. This keeps your preparation area tidy and makes it easier to transfer the sandwiches to a serving platter later.
  2. Make the creamy filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Blend using a hand mixer or sturdy spoon until smooth and fluffy. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and crumbled bacon until the mixture is evenly combined. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  3. Assemble with love: Take one Ritz cracker and spoon about one teaspoon of the prepared filling onto it. Gently press a second cracker on top to create a sandwich bite. Continue this process until all crackers are used and filled.
  4. Let them chill: Place the assembled sandwiches in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. Chilling helps the flavors meld together and firms up the filling, making the sandwiches easier to handle and more enjoyable to eat.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter and delight your guests. These bite-sized treats are perfect for parties, casual get-togethers, or whenever you want a flavorful snack.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese softened to room temperature for a creamy texture.
  • You can prepare these sandwiches a few hours ahead and keep them refrigerated until serving.
  • If bacon is not preferred, substitute with cooked pancetta or omit for a vegetarian version.
  • Add extra garlic powder if you enjoy a stronger garlic flavor.
  • These sandwiches are best served chilled but can be enjoyed slightly warmed if desired.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
