Notes

To store leftover sandwiches, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for about 2 days. If unassembled, keep the filling and crackers separate to prevent sogginess. Chilling the filling for at least an hour helps flavors blend and makes the mixture easier to spread.
