8 slices deli ham, quartered
8 slices Swiss cheese, quartered
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2: Cut the Fillings

Slice deli ham and Swiss cheese into quarters so they fit neatly onto the crackers.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches

Place half of the Ritz crackers on the prepared baking sheet. Top each with ham and cheese, then cover with another cracker to form a sandwich.

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

Step 5: Brush and Bake

Brush the tops of the sandwiches with the butter mixture. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese melts and the crackers turn golden brown.
