Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 48 Ritz crackers
  • 8 slices deli ham thinly sliced
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
  • ½ teaspoon dried minced onion

Equipment

  • 9×13-inch baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange 24 Ritz crackers in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Tear ham into small pieces and distribute over the crackers. Top each with a small square of Swiss cheese.
  3. Place the remaining 24 crackers on top to form sandwiches.
  4. Stir together melted butter, Dijon, Worcestershire, and garlic powder. Brush or pour evenly over the tops. Sprinkle with poppy seeds and dried minced onion.
  5. Bake 10–12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden. Serve warm.

Notes

Watch closely so the crackers do not over-brown. Serve immediately for the best texture. Easy to double for larger crowds. Excellent party and game-day appetizer. Store leftovers refrigerated and reheat gently. Customize with different meats or cheeses as desired.
