Instructions
Prepare the filling:
In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Add meat and veggies:
Fold in chopped cooked meat and green onions or chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble sandwiches:
Spoon a small amount of the filling onto a Ritz cracker. Top with another cracker to create a sandwich. Press gently.
