Instructions
-
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. -
Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper until smooth. Stir in the shredded cheese until creamy and well combined. -
Assemble the Stacks:
Place half of the crackers on the baking sheet. Spread a small spoonful of the cheese mixture on each. Add a piece of ham on top, then another layer of the cheese mixture. Cap each with another cracker to create a sandwich-style stack. -
Add Seasoning:
Sprinkle the tops with Italian seasoning and a bit of extra black pepper. -
Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crackers are golden and crisp. -
Serve:
Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with rosemary or parsley for a fresh, savory touch.
Tips & Variations

Swap ham for turkey, chicken, or pepperoni for a flavor twist.
