Ritz Cracker Party Sandwich Bites
These tasty mini sandwiches made with Ritz crackers are the ultimate easy appetizer for any event. Layers of savory ham and creamy Swiss cheese are tucked between two buttery crackers, then brushed with a flavorful glaze. Baked until bubbly and golden, these snack-sized bites are always a hit and tend to vanish quickly once served.
Ingredients:
Ingredient Amount
Ritz crackers 48
Deli-style ham 8 slices
Swiss cheese 8 slices
Melted butter 4 tablespoons
Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons
Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon
Garlic powder ½ teaspoon
Poppy seeds 1 teaspoon
Dried minced onion ½ teaspoon
Instructions:
Step 1: Build the Sandwiches
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). On a baking surface, place 24 Ritz crackers. Add a folded piece of ham and a square of Swiss cheese on each, then cover with another cracker to form 24 mini sandwiches.
Step 2: Make the Butter Glaze
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, poppy seeds, and minced onion. Stir until everything is well mixed.
Step 3: Glaze and Set Up for Baking
Brush the top of each sandwich generously with the butter mixture. Arrange the sandwiches neatly on a baking tray lined with parchment or foil for easier cleanup.
Step 4: Bake and Serve
Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the tops are golden and the cheese has melted. Let the sandwiches cool slightly before serving warm.
