Special Extra

Top each cheese slice with a small fresh basil leaf before covering with remaining crackers.

Makeover - How We Did It

Love the great taste of fried mozzarella sticks? These baked cracker sandwiches taste just as good! And you'll save 30 calories and 6 grams of total fat, including 2 grams of saturated fat, per serving by preparing them with Kraft Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese; and Ritz 30% Less Fat Crackers instead of the bread crumb, cheese and egg coating.

Great Results using the Whole Grain or Wheat Ritz, and used a Creamy Ranch type dip as opposed to a red sauce. Bit hit at my parties !

I tried this for New Year's and was not impressed. Although mine looked like those on the web site, they didn't taste very good. I wouldn't make them again.

I really liked these. I didn't think they would be as tasty as they were. I used a can of pizza sauce instead of the pasta sauce for dipping
