Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches

Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches

Ritz cracker party sandwiches are buttery, bite-sized, and dangerously addictive. They’re the perfect make-ahead appetizer for parties, holidays, game days, or anytime you need an easy crowd-pleaser with big flavor and minimal effort.

Ingredients:
1 box Ritz crackers
1 pound thin-sliced deli ham or turkey
1 pound sliced Swiss or cheddar cheese
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Arrange half of the Ritz crackers on the baking sheet, bottom side up.

Cut the deli meat and cheese into small squares to fit the crackers. Place a piece of meat and cheese on each cracker.

Top with the remaining crackers to form sandwiches.

In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Brush or spoon the butter mixture generously over the tops of the cracker sandwiches.

Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crackers are lightly golden.

Let cool slightly before serving.

Helpful Tips:
Use thin-sliced cheese for easier melting.
Do not oversoak the crackers with butter.
Great for mixing meats and cheeses for variety.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve warm for best flavor.
Pair with dips, pickles, or veggie trays.
Perfect for parties, potlucks, and snacks.

Ritz cracker party sandwiches are simple, savory, and totally irresistible — once you make them, they’ll be requested again and again. 🧀🥪
