Are you ready to take your party sandwiches to the next level? If you loved those mouthwatering ham and cheese party sliders, then get ready to be blown away by our Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches. They’re just as delicious, just as buttery, but with a bite-sized twist. Trust me, you won’t be able to stop at just one!
Elevate Your Party Sandwiches
The secret to these delightful treats is in the combination of flavors. Start with two sleeves of Ritz crackers (store brand works great too) as the base. Then, layer on slices of ham and Swiss cheese before topping them with another cracker. Voila! You have the perfect mini sandwich.
The True Beauty Lies in the Butter
Now, let’s talk about the real star of the show: the butter. Melt it, and then mix in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Pour this heavenly concoction all over your cracker sandwiches. As they bake in the oven, the butter seeps into the crackers, making them even more buttery and crispy. The cheese melts, and the minced onion and poppy seeds add a fragrant and savory touch. It’s a thing of beauty, my friends.
