Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven & Prep Pan

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

  2. Prepare Ham & Cheese

    • Cut ham and Swiss cheese into 24 small squares each (quarter slices).

  3. Assemble Sandwiches

    • Place 24 Ritz crackers on the baking sheet.

    • Top each with 1 ham square, then 1 cheese square.

    • Cover with remaining 24 crackers to form mini sandwiches.

  4. Make Butter Glaze

    • In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, poppy seeds, and dried onion.

  5. Glaze & Bake

    • Brush the tops of each sandwich generously with the butter mixture.

    • Bake for 10–12 minutes until cheese melts and crackers turn golden.

  6. Serve

    • Let cool 1–2 minutes before serving warm.

Tips & Variations:

  • Cheese Swap: Try cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack.

  • Meat Options: Substitute ham with turkey, roast beef, or crispy bacon.

  • Vegetarian: Use roasted veggies (zucchini, bell peppers) with provolone.

  • Make Ahead: Assemble unbaked sandwiches, refrigerate, and bake just before serving.

Fun Twists:

  • Pepperoni Pizza: Swap ham/cheese for pepperoni & mozzarella; add Italian seasoning to the glaze.

  • Turkey Club: Layer turkey + bacon + Swiss cheese.

  • Spicy Kick: Add a dash of hot sauce to the butter glaze.

Perfect for parties—easy, cheesy, and irresistibly crispy! 🎉
