How to Make Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches
Step 1: Build the sandwiches
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange 24 Ritz crackers on your work surface. Place a portion of deli ham and Swiss cheese on each cracker, then cover each one with a second cracker to form 24 small sandwiches.
Step 2: Mix the seasoned butter
Add the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, poppy seeds, and dried minced onion to a small bowl. Whisk everything together until evenly combined.
Step 3: Add the glaze
Generously brush or spoon the seasoned butter mixture over the tops of the assembled sandwiches. Place the glazed sandwiches in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake and serve
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes. The sandwiches are ready when the crackers are lightly golden and the Swiss cheese has melted. Allow them to cool briefly before serving.
