I went through a pretty serious “ham and cheese party slider” phase. You know those little baked sandwiches using Hawaiian rolls and melted butter poured over the top? Well, for a while, I couldn’t get enough of them and served them for every party. No one was complaining though, because they’re delicious and buttery and easy to love. But now it’s time to change things up a little. Here’s the same concept, but on crackers so they’re just as buttery, just as delicious, but a little more bite sized. I think I might be about to enter another serious party sandwich phase.
Serves 12
Prep Time: 10min
Cook Time: 10min
Total Time: 20min
INGREDIENTS:
- 48 Ritz crackers
- 8 slices deli ham
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place half of the crackers in a 9×13-inch baking dish, flat side down.
- Tear ham into small strips and fold and place on each cracker.
- Cut cheese into 1-inch pieces and place one on each piece of ham/cracker. Top with another cracker to form a mini sandwich.
- Stir Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder into the melted butter, then pour evenly over the cracker sandwiches.
- Sprinkle poppy seeds and minced onion evenly over the top.
- Bake until cheese has melted and tops are golden brown, 10-12 minutes.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
NOTES:
Make it ahead: these sandwiches are best served while warm. You can gather/prepare all of the ingredients ahead of time, and then assemble and bake the sandwiches when you’re ready to serve them.
Change it up: any combination of deli meat and cheese works well here. Roast beef and cheddar, or turkey and colby jack are a few ideas!
