What's on your Ritz?
 

Bought a box of Ritz crackers to make hooordreves (thanks for the
spelling trick!) cause it's too hot to cook.

Here's what I doctored up, from the bottom up...

ritz cracker
deli-sliced roast beef
pepper jack cheese

I know... boring!!!

Yours?

Dad calls 'em "horse's ovaries". Quite a joker, my dad is. :-)

About 4 oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sour cream mixed (this is the base for a
myriad of flavours).. add to that a chopped peeled, seedless cuke topped
with chives, OR a can of drained tuna topped with dilled pickle maybe, OR a
can of salmon.... maybe topped with red pepper, hot pepper?

I don't generally eat Ritz, but for crackers in general (and it's most
likely going to be Milton's or the multigrain crackers) I like either pate
and olives or cream cheese (the kind with onions and chives) or some slices
of good cheese and maybe a bit of Genoa salami.

A smear of cream cheese, a dollop of chutney, and a square of bacon
(previously nuked 'til crisp).

Cucumber! Just the right size too (thinking coins). Good crunch and
moisture.

I rarely eat them. I'll look for a cracker to put under a smoked
oyster, maybe, but usually prefer a Triscuit.

At our house, they were "horse's doovers." Easy to spell and everyone

If it's just me, and I'm building them as I'm eating them, I like cream
cheese topped with a pimiento stuffed olive, or strong Cheddar topped
with a hamburger dill pickle slice and then dip the edge in strong
mustard, or a slice of hard-boiled egg topped with a pickle slice.
Only instead of Ritz, I LOVE the Keebler's Sesame Crackers.

N.,

Good point!

Of course "Ritz" is only the "subject" cracker. I imagine others, as you
have, chime in with their favorite crackers AND stackers!

Shoulda said so in the OP.

All the best,

Andy

Like many others, I don't particularly like Ritz, but maybe I can help
with toppings.

Normally, I'll start with a par baked baguette from the store. At about
$1.00, it is cheaper than a box of Ritz, and has more volume. Cut into
slightly thinker than Ritz slices. Brush the bottom with olive oil.
Place on a cookie sheet or something equivalent. Preheat oven to 400 F.

Now for the toppings. Like many people said, cream cheese works. So
does cream havarti, mozzerella, edam, fontina, brie, and many other
kinds of cheese. Add some sliced olives on some. Add all kinds of meats
(salami, pepperoni, ham, turkey, roast beest, et al). I go for mix and
match, so don't put everything on all your toasts/crackers. Also,
tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, garlic, artichoke hearts, shrimp,
hummus, and maybe even hard boiled egg slices. You can leave some
undressed to use with cold dips and such if you like.

Now put the tray in the oven and cook for 10 to 15 minues. If you are
using cream cheese, the cream cheese should pick up a brown tint near
the edges. take out of oven and serve. Notice that all the prep can be
done ahead of time, and cooking only takes 10 or 15 minutes.

Yes, sesame crackers are the best but my favorite are the ones from
Pepperidge Farms. They're wonderful with a little goat cheese. Or with cream
cheese, smoked sockeye salmon (not lox) and capers. If I have to settle for
a Ritz, I like it with cream cheese and hot pepper jelly. Peanut butter and
cherry preserves make a great tasting snack, too.

Hogs head cheese. I haven't tried HHC on a Ritz yet but I know it would be good.
I just tried Hogs head cheese for the first time this week and it's tasty stuff.

Oh that sounds like a great combination. I love tapanade as much as I do
goat cheese!

Chopped Chicken Livers with plenty of hard boiled egg and onion in it.
Made with Schmalz, of course. What else would go so well with Ritz
Crackers?

Have you tried it? It's no worse than a sausage as far as smell or ingredients.
It's kind of like spicy sausage meat and some vegetables mixed with a bit of
gelatin.

I think you should kiss your husband anyway. I'm sure he kisses you when you are
not at your best.

I don't like sausage, Mike. No kind what-so-ever. Not summer, not
anything. So, I guess, there you go.

My Ritz isn't a Ritz. It is a whole-grain wheat cracker of somesort (I
forget what brand). And I just made a huge batch of spinach dip to
take to a party tomorrow. :) I also will bring medium-sharp cheddar,
jalapeno jack and some imported olives.

Y'know, you could have drummed up interest in the question by making the
Subject line read, "Show your Ritz! Show your Ritz!" :-)

My girlfriend microwaves pepperoni with sun-dried tomatoes and provolone on
Ritz crackers. I like more dip-like creations, e.g., hummus, or that
infamous Lipton
sour-cream-and-dehydrated-soup-envelope dip from the 1960's.

Lessee what else...oh, a combination of Brie, papaya, and Chinese barbecued
pork is good, too. Quince paste with Iberico cheese, sometimes with a
sliver of Serrano ham. Marinated shrimp with cucumber and dill. Broccoli
puree with toasted hazelnuts and cheddar. Baba ghanoush. Sliced tomato
with basil, mozzarella, and olive oil. Peanut butter and thinly-sliced
teriyaki beef. Pickled herring and thinly-sliced red onion. Smoky beef
brisket, spicy barbecue sauce, and pickled watermelon rind. Olive paste and
an anchovy or sardine.

The list goes on and on! It's only limited by your imagination.

You mean "Toasteds" sesame crackers? I think they're by Keebler, but
maybe Nabisco. Either way, they are SO GOOD. I had some with apple
jelly and they were fabulous.

Right You Are!!!! Thank you for reminding me.

On my ritz there is a cream of Philadelphia cheese mixed with chopped green
olives and chopped cooked ham. Put over, a little leave of salad, a little
cube of emmenthal and a whole green olive. All keep firm with a toothpicks.
