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.

Thanks,

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
knows what it means. LOL.

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.

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.
