🧀✨ Air Fryer Ritz Cracker Sandwiches
Buttery, crispy, and melty — these quick air fryer bites are perfect for snacks, parties, or kid-friendly treats.
🛒 Ingredients (Makes 8–10 sandwiches)
- 16–20 Ritz crackers
- 4–5 slices cheese (cheddar, American, mozzarella, or pepper jack), cut into small squares
- Optional fillings:
- Thin ham or turkey slices
- Pepperoni
- Peanut butter
- Chocolate squares
- Cooking spray or melted butter (lightly)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Assemble
- Place cheese (and any optional filling) between two Ritz crackers to form a sandwich.
- Press gently to secure.
2️⃣ Prep for Air Fryer
- Lightly spray or brush the tops with melted butter for extra crispiness.
3️⃣ Air Fry
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Place sandwiches in a single layer (don’t overcrowd).
- Air fry 3–5 minutes, until cheese is melted and crackers are golden.
4️⃣ Cool Slightly & Serve
- Let cool 1–2 minutes — the filling will be hot!
🌟 Flavor Ideas

💡 Tips
- Keep an eye on them — crackers brown quickly.
- Use parchment liners with holes if needed to prevent sticking.
- Best served warm and fresh.
