Creating Ritz Ham Sandwiches is straightforward. Follow these easy steps to assemble your delicious snacks:

1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Dijon mustard (if using). Mix until smooth and well combined.
2. Spread the Cream Cheese: Take one Ritz cracker and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on top.
3. Add Ham: Place a slice of deli ham on top of the cream cheese spread on the cracker.
4. Sprinkle Cheese: Add a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the ham.
5. Top with Another Cracker: Place another Ritz cracker on top to create a sandwich.
6. Repeat: Continue the process until you have assembled the desired number of sandwiches.
7. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh herbs on top of the sandwiches for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
8. Chill (Optional): For best results, refrigerate the assembled sandwiches for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
