Get ready to wow your guests with these Irresistible Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches! Perfectly buttery, salty Ritz crackers are layered with gooey melted cheese, savory ham, and topped with a rich, buttery glaze. Ideal for parties, game days, holidays, or whenever you want a quick crowd-pleasing snack that disappears in minutes!
Ingredients:
60 Ritz crackers (about 2 sleeves)
30 slices deli ham (cut to cracker size)
15 slices cheddar cheese (or Swiss, cut to cracker size)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional but recommended for that extra crunch)
Instructions:
1. Assemble the Sandwiches:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place 30 Ritz crackers, flat side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
Top each cracker with a slice of ham and a slice of cheese.
Cover each stack with another Ritz cracker to make a sandwich.
2. Prepare the Buttery Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and poppy seeds.
Stir until the brown sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
3. Brush and Bake:
Generously brush the buttery glaze over the tops of each cracker sandwich. Don’t be shy — the more glaze, the more delicious!
If you have extra glaze, drizzle it over the sandwiches for extra flavor.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tops are lightly golden.
4. Serve:
Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then serve these bite-sized, buttery, cheesy delights warm.
Watch them disappear — they’re that good!
