👩‍🍳 How to Make Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches

Step 1: Prep the Base

• Preheat your oven to 350°F.
• Arrange 24 Ritz crackers (half of the total) flat-side down in a single layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Build the Sandwiches

• Tear the 8 slices of deli ham into small strips and fold to fit neatly on each cracker.
• Cut the Swiss cheese slices into 1-inch squares and place one piece on top of the ham.
• Top each with the remaining 24 crackers to form mini sandwiches.

Step 3: Whisk the Glaze

• In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.

Step 4: Season and Bake

• Spoon or pour the butter mixture evenly over each sandwich.
• Sprinkle poppy seeds and dried minced onion on top.
• Bake for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the crackers are lightly golden.

Step 5: Serve

• Remove from the oven and serve warm while the cheese is still gooey.

💡 Pro Tips

• Prevent Soggy Bottoms: For extra-crispy crackers, bake them for 3 minutes before adding toppings, then assemble.
• Cheese Variations: Swiss is classic, but Pepper Jack adds a kick and Sharp Cheddar gives a bolder flavor.
