Keto Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches

Keto Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches are a flavorful dish with fewer carbs. We use some simple components that are easily found in shops or in the pantry. They are prepared with a combination of mayonnaise, keto crackers, deli meat, and cream cheese. We don’t recommend freezing because the cream cheese filling doesn’t store properly. The high-fat content of the Keto Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches prevents us from feeling hungry all day. These sandwiches are quick to prepare, taking only fifteen minutes, making them ideal for hectic days. They have smooth, crunchy edges, providing a delicious taste in every single bite. The cream cheese provides a strong base, and mayonnaise adds moisture. A single serving has 2.2 grams of net carbs.

INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

MAYONNAISE:

• This ingredient helps to make a smooth texture and maintain the moisture content. Utilize avocado oil or olive oil-based mayo; both are good for a keto diet.

KETO CRACKERS:

• They substitute the regular Ritz crackers while maintaining a low-carb count. Don’t use seed-heavy crackers or wheat-based crackers that simply crumble down. Use cheese-based or almond flour crackers with a flavor of butter.

DELI MEAT:

• We use ham or turkey to provide saltiness and protein in the sandwiches. You can use bacon bits or chicken as the best keto replacements.

CREAM CHEESE:

• It delivers a creamy and strong foundation. If required, you may use milk-free cream cheese. Always utilize high-fat varieties for a keto diet.
