Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 package of crackers, 8 ounces of sliced ham, 8 ounces of sliced cheese (either cheddar or Swiss), and mustard or mayonnaise for spreading.
- Lay out the crackers on a clean cutting board or plate. Ensure they are flat and ready for stacking.
- If you prefer a bit of flavor, spread a thin layer of mustard or mayonnaise on each cracker. Use a butter knife or a small spatula for even spreading.
- Take a slice of ham and place it on top of the cracker, ensuring it covers the surface well.
- Next, add a slice of cheese on top of the ham. If you are using cheddar or Swiss, make sure it fits well on the cracker.
- Repeat the layering process with additional crackers, ham, and cheese until you have created a stacker with your desired number of layers. You can create a single stack or multiple stackers, depending on your preference.
- Once you have assembled your stackers, you can garnish them with additional spreads or toppings if desired, such as a sprinkle of paprika or a slice of pickle on the top cracker.
- Serve immediately on a platter, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your Ham Cheese Cracker Stackers as a delicious appetizer or snack!
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Select fresh, high-quality crackers with a sturdy base and opt for premium deli ham and cheese for the best flavor.
- Spread Wisely: When adding mustard or mayonnaise, use a light touch. A thin, even layer prevents soggy crackers and enhances the overall taste.
- Get Creative with Cheese: While cheddar and Swiss are classic choices, experiment with different cheese varieties like provolone or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles.
- Temperature Matters: For the best texture, serve these stackers at room temperature or slightly chilled.
- Make Ahead Friendly: Prepare these stackers up to a few hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator, covered with a damp paper towel to prevent crackers from getting too dry.
- Presentation is Key: Use toothpicks to secure multiple-layer stackers and create an elegant, easy-to-eat appetizer.
