Pepperoni Pizza RITZ Crackers
RITZ Crackers – We just went with traditional RITZ crackers for these RITZ pepperoni pizza sandwiches with mozzarella cheese. That is because we are making our own Italian seasoning and butter mixture. We haven’t tried these with the flavored crackers but the garlic ones might work great too.
Italian Seasoning & Garlic Powder – To bring a little extra flavor to the crackers and sandwiches. If you decide to use the garlic-flavored RITZ crackers, you may need to adjust or leave out this seasoning combination.
Melted Butter – This will be what helps coat the RITZ crackers with the seasonings and give them some extra flavor.
Pepperoni Slices – We use two slices of pepperoni for each of the RITZ pepperoni pizza sandwiches.
Mozzarella Cheese – Sliced mozzarella cheese is best and it is the easiest way to put these RITZ pepperoni pizza sandwiches together. You could probably use shredded, but it may get a little messier. Just sprinkle a few pinches of shredded cheese on there if you wish to use shredded mozzarella.
I highly recommend using parchment paper for baking these tasty snacks. With the Italian seasoning and butter mix, it can get a little messy. By placing the parchment paper on the sheet pan before placing it in the oven, it will be less mess that you have to clean up.
