Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Cut Ham and Cheese
Slice the deli ham and Swiss cheese into quarters to fit neatly on the crackers.
Assemble Sandwiches
Place 24 Ritz crackers on the prepared baking sheet.
Top each cracker with a piece of ham and cheese.
Add another Ritz cracker on top to form a sandwich.
Make Butter Mixture
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, poppy seeds, and dried minced onion.
Brush the Sandwiches
Generously brush the tops of the sandwiches with the butter mixture, making sure to coat them evenly.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crackers are golden brown.
Serve
Let the sandwiches cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture.
Tips for Success
Make Ahead: Assemble the sandwiches and prepare the butter mixture in advance. Brush and bake them just before serving.
Customize Fillings: Swap ham for turkey or salami, and use cheddar or provolone instead of Swiss cheese.
Add a Sweet Touch: Add a thin slice of apple or a dollop of fig jam for a sweet-savory twist.
