Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 48 pieces Ritz crackers About 2 sleeves
  • 12 slices deli ham Cut into quarters
  • 6 slices cheddar or Swiss cheese Cut into quarters
Butter mixture
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter Melted
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon poppy seeds Optional
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar Optional, for sweet glaze

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place half the Ritz crackers, salted side down, on the sheet. Add a small square of ham and a piece of cheese to each. Top with another cracker, salted side up, to make little sandwiches.
  3. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, garlic powder, and honey (if using).
Baking
  1. Brush the tops of each sandwich with the butter mixture.
  2. Bake for 7–9 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the tops turn golden.
  3. Let them cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve warm for best flavor. Use toothpicks for easy handling at parties and offer dipping sauces like mustard or ranch on the side.
