Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These sandwiches hit all the right notes—salty, buttery, creamy, and cheesy. They take just minutes to assemble, and you can fill them with just about anything you like: ham and cheese, chicken salad, or even a sweet chocolate-peanut butter combo for dessert sandwiches!

Ingredients (Classic Ham & Cheese Version):

• 1 box Ritz crackers

• 6 slices deli ham (cut into quarters)

• 6 slices cheddar or Swiss cheese (cut into quarters)

• 3 tablespoons butter, melted

• ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

• ½ teaspoon poppy seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Assemble the sandwiches: Place half of the Ritz crackers, flat side up, on the baking sheet. Top each cracker with a piece of ham and cheese. Place another Ritz cracker on top to make a mini sandwich.

3. Brush with buttery glaze: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Brush the tops of the crackers with the mixture and sprinkle with poppy seeds if desired.

4. Bake for 6–8 minutes, until the cheese is melty and the crackers are lightly golden.

5. Serve warm and watch them disappear!

Variations to Try

• Turkey & Swiss: Replace ham with smoked turkey and cheddar with Swiss cheese.

• Bacon & Cheddar: Add a small piece of cooked bacon inside each sandwich for an irresistible smoky twist.

• Sweet Treat Version: Skip the butter glaze and fill crackers with peanut butter and chocolate spread for a dessert bite.
