Ingredients

• 72 Ritz-style butter crackers
• 8 oz sliced deli ham, cut to cracker size
• 8 oz Swiss or cheddar cheese, sliced
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp honey or brown sugar (optional)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp poppy seeds
• Pinch of salt & black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Arrange half the crackers in the dish. Top each with ham and cheese; cap with remaining crackers to form mini sandwiches.
3. Whisk together melted butter, Dijon, Worcestershire, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, poppy seeds, salt & pepper.
4. Brush or spoon glaze over the tops. Rest 5 minutes to soak in.
5. Bake 10–12 minutes until melty and lightly golden. Serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Add a dab of honey mustard or pepper jelly inside for sweet heat.
• Use turkey/provolone or roast beef/horseradish cheese for variety.
• For extra crisp tops, broil 30–60 seconds at the end—watch closely.
