    Ingredients

    • 24 Ritz crackers

    • 6 slices ham

    • 6 slices cheddar cheese

    • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

    • 2 tablespoons mustard

    • 1 cup lettuce leaves

    Directions

    • Gather all your ingredients including the Ritz crackers, ham slices, cheddar cheese slices, mayonnaise, mustard, and lettuce.
    • Lay out 12 Ritz crackers on a large platter or serving board to form the base of your sandwiches.
    • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each cracker, ensuring an even coverage for added creaminess and flavor.
    • Place a slice of ham on each cracker, trimming the edges if necessary so the ham fits nicely on top of the cracker.
    • Cut the cheddar cheese slices into quarters, then place one piece on top of the ham layer on each cracker.
    • Add a small piece of lettuce on top of each cheese slice, ensuring it doesn’t overhang too much from the cracker.
    • Mix the mustard and remaining mayonnaise in a small bowl, then spread a thin layer on the lettuce leaves.
    • Top each sandwich with another Ritz cracker, pressing down gently to hold the layers together.
    • Arrange the sandwiches neatly on a serving platter and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
