Garlic Bread Ritz

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe to make Garlic Bread Ritz Crackers—a buttery, garlicky, cheesy snack that’s perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients:

  • 1 sleeve of Ritz crackers (about 30 crackers)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, if your butter is unsalted
  • Instructions:

    1. Preheat the Oven
      Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
    2. Prepare the Garlic Butter
      In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic, parsley, and salt (if using). Stir well to combine.
    3. Coat the Crackers
      Arrange the Ritz crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Use a pastry brush (or a spoon) to evenly coat each cracker with the garlic butter mixture.
    4. Add the Parmesan
      Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese on top of each cracker for that cheesy, golden-brown finish.
    5. Bake
      Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the crackers are lightly golden and the cheese is melted.
    6. Cool and Serve
      Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack, appetizer, or side dish

      Tips:

      • Extra Crispy? For a crunchier result, bake an additional 2–3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
      • Upgrade with Toppings! Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat, or a dash of Italian seasoning for more herb flavor.
      • Make Ahead: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness
