Quick and flavorful Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches that are perfect for any gathering. Enjoy the goodness of ham and cheese sandwiched between buttery Ritz crackers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 48 Ritz crackers (about 2 sleeves)
- 12 slices deli ham (cut into quarters)
- 6 slices cheddar or Swiss cheese (cut into quarters)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar (optional, for a sweet glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place half of the Ritz crackers, salted side down, on the baking sheet. Add a quarter of ham and a piece of cheese to each cracker, then top with another cracker, salted side up, to make sandwiches.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, garlic powder, and honey (if desired).
- Brush the tops of each sandwich with the butter mixture and bake for 7–9 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the tops are golden.
- Let the sandwiches cool for 2–3 minutes before serving. They are great warm!
Notes
For variety, try using turkey instead of ham, or add sliced pickles for extra flavor.
