Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches
These baked Ritz Cracker party sandwiches are a simple appetizer layered with sliced ham and melty Swiss cheese and topped with a savory glaze. They’re ideal for game day, holidays, or casual get-togethers when you want something warm and satisfying, but easy to make.
Ingredients
- 48 Ritz crackers
- 8 slices deli ham torn into three pieces each (24 pieces total)
- 6 slices Swiss cheese cut into four squares each (24 pieces total)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place 24 Ritz crackers, flat side up, on a 9x13-inch baking sheet.
- Fold each piece of ham and place it on a cracker. Top with a slice of Swiss cheese.
- Place the remaining 24 crackers on top to form sandwiches.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and poppy seeds.
- Spoon or brush the butter mixture over the tops of each sandwich.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are lightly golden.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Sandwiches are best served warm, but can be kept in a low oven if prepping ahead.
- Store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a 300°F oven for 5–7 minutes, or until heated through. The crackers will soften slightly after refrigeration, but will crisp up a bit again when reheated.
