Ingredients
  

crackers
  • 24 round buttery crackers
pepperoni
  • 24 slices pepperoni
cheese
  • 8 oz sliced cheddar cheese, cut into rounds
deli meat
  • 8 oz sliced turkey or ham, cut into rounds
serving
  • 1 toothpicks, optional for serving

Method
 

Cut the layers
  1. Cut the cheese and deli meat into rounds slightly smaller than the crackers using a small biscuit cutter or knife.
  2. Set the cut cheese and deli meat pieces on a plate so they’re ready to stack.
Build the cracker stacks
  1. Stack each cracker with a slice of cheese, a slice of meat, and 1-2 pieces of pepperoni.
  2. Repeat until all the crackers are stacked.
  3. Secure with a toothpick if desired for easy handling.
Pack or serve
  1. Arrange the stacks on a platter or pack into lunchbox containers.

Notes

Pro tip: make your cheese and deli meat rounds just a touch smaller than the crackers so the stack stays neat and doesn’t slide. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freezing isn’t recommended because crackers can soften after thawing. Dietary swap: use deli turkey/ham that’s lower-sodium if you want a lighter option.
