Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches are easy, buttery, bite-size snacks filled with melted cheese and ham. They bake into warm, crispy, savory mini sandwiches that are perfect for gatherings, holidays, game days, or quick entertaining.
Ingredients
- 48 Ritz crackers
- 12 slices deli ham, cut into quarters
- 12 slices cheddar or American cheese, cut into quarters
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
1. Prepare oven and pan
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. Assemble the sandwiches
Lay half of the Ritz crackers, flat side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
Place one small square of ham and one small square of cheese on each cracker.
Top with the remaining crackers to form mini sandwiches.
3. Make the butter topping
In a small bowl combine the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well.
4. Brush the sandwiches
Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of all the assembled sandwiches.
5. Bake
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tops are lightly golden.
6. Serve
Let them cool slightly, then serve warm as appetizers or party snacks.
