Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place half of the Ritz crackers flat side up on the baking sheet. Add a slice of cheese, followed by your chosen deli meat on each cracker. Top each with another Ritz cracker, gently pressing down.
  3. Melt the butter and mix it with optional seasonings. Brush this mixture over the tops of the assembled sandwiches.
  4. Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese melts and the crackers are golden.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
