About Ritz cracker topping

Ritz Cracker Topping is a flavorful blend commonly used to enhance the texture and taste of casseroles, baked dishes, and vegetable gratins. This topping typically consists of crushed Ritz crackers mixed with butter and sometimes seasoned with herbs like parsley or spices for added flavor. Originating from American cuisine, it’s a popular choice for classic comfort foods, adding a golden, crispy layer when baked. While it offers a satisfyingly crunchy texture, its nutritional profile includes refined carbohydrates, fats from butter, and sodium, depending on the preparation. Though not inherently a health-conscious option, moderation and pairing with nutrient-rich ingredients like vegetables can balance its indulgent qualities. This versatile topping is loved for the rich taste it lends to hearty dishes spanning generations of home-cooked meals.
