These Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches are a fun, bite-sized twist on the classic hot ham and cheese slider. The buttery, flaky Ritz crackers paired with a savory Dijon glaze make them a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at game days, holiday parties, or any gathering.

How to Make Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches

Step 1: Prep the Base

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Arrange 24 Ritz crackers (half of the total) flat-side down in a single layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Build the Sandwiches

Tear the 8 slices of deli ham into small strips and fold to fit neatly on each cracker.
Cut the Swiss cheese slices into 1-inch squares and place one piece on top of the ham.
Top each with the remaining 24 crackers to form mini sandwiches.
Step 3: Whisk the Glaze

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.
Step 4: Season and Bake

Spoon or pour the butter mixture evenly over each sandwich.
Sprinkle poppy seeds and dried minced onion on top.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the crackers are lightly golden.
Step 5: Serve

Remove from the oven and serve warm while the cheese is still gooey.
💡 Pro Tips

Prevent Soggy Bottoms: For extra-crispy crackers, bake them for 3 minutes before adding toppings, then assemble.
Cheese Variations: Swiss is classic, but Pepper Jack adds a kick and Sharp Cheddar gives a bolder flavor.
