- 8 slices deli ham
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Assemble Sandwiches:
- Place 24 RITZ crackers, flat side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Tear the ham slices into small pieces and fold them to fit neatly on each cracker.
- Cut the Swiss cheese into 1-inch squares and place one piece on top of the ham on each cracker.
- Top each assembly with another RITZ cracker, flat side up, to form a sandwich.
- Prepare Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Apply Glaze:
- Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the tops of the cracker sandwiches with the butter mixture.
- Sprinkle the poppy seeds and dried minced onion over the glazed sandwiches.
- Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the crackers are golden brown.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let the sandwiches cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best experience.
Notes
- Variations: Feel free to experiment with different meats and cheeses, such as turkey with cheddar or roast beef with provolone, to suit your taste preferences.
- Make-Ahead: Assemble the sandwiches and prepare the glaze ahead of time. Store them separately in the refrigerator and bake just before serving to ensure they remain crisp and fresh.
