Appetizer with crackers are easy to make and are delicious, when I prepare them they are gone in no time and everyone always likes them. I use Ritz crackers which are round and also nice to look at when you serve them not only as an appetizer, but also at a buffet or to accompany an aperitif. You can then decorate the crackers as I did with sesame seeds, chives, or dried onion, or you can leave them simple, so they will also be appreciated by children. For the ricotta and ham cream, I used Prague ham, which has a smoky and intense flavor, alternatively you can use herb ham or classic cooked ham, instead of ricotta you can use Philadelphia cheese. Now let’s see how to make the appetizer with crackers and if you try it, let me know. Barbara

How to prepare the Appetizer with crackers

Let’s start preparing Appetizer with crackers, blend the cooked ham
work the ricotta with a fork to obtain a cream, then add the freshly blended cooked ham
and mix until you get a homogeneous cream.
Add some chopped chives or parsley and mix well.
Take a cracker and add the ham cream,
close with a second cracker
and using a spatula or the blade of a knife remove the cream that comes out of the edges.
Then pass the crackers on the cream side, in the sesame seeds or the chives or the dried onion, or if you prefer leave them simple.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for no more than a day, then the crackers will become soft.
