Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Assembly

  • 96 RITZ® Crackers
  • ½ lb thinly sliced deli ham
  • ⅓ lb thinly sliced Swiss cheese

Butter Mixture

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sandwiches.
  2. Layer Crackers: Arrange 24 RITZ® Crackers flat side down on a baking dish to create the base layer for the sandwiches.
  3. Add Ham and Cheese: Tear the deli ham into strips and place them evenly on each cracker, then add a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the ham.
  4. Top Crackers: Place another RITZ® Cracker on top of the cheese, rounded side up, to complete each sandwich.
  5. Prepare Butter Mixture: Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salt until well combined.
  6. Apply Butter Mixture and Sprinkle: Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the sandwiches, then sprinkle with poppy seeds and dried onion flakes for added flavor and texture.
  7. Bake: Bake the assembled sandwiches in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until they are golden brown and bubbly, then remove and serve warm.

Notes

  • Make sure to use thinly sliced deli ham and Swiss cheese for easy layering and better texture.
  • Feel free to substitute Dijon mustard with yellow mustard for a milder flavor.
  • Use fresh or dried onion flakes according to availability; dried onion flakes add a nice savory crunch.
  • These sandwiches are best served warm right out of the oven for optimal crispiness and taste.
  • They can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving to save time at parties.
