Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches: The 3-Ingredient, 20-Minute Appetizer That Always Disappears First

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 10 mins | Serves: 6-8 (Makes 24-30 sandwiches)

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take out a 9×13 inch baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet. No need to grease it.

Step 2: Create the Flavor Bomb Sauce

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the stick of butter. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, garlic powder, and onion powder (and hot sauce, if using). Set aside.

Step 3: The Assembly Line

Lay out half of the Ritz crackers, face up, in a single layer in your baking dish.
Layer 1 (Ham): Place a small fold or piece of ham on each cracker. You want just enough so it doesn’t overwhelm the cracker.
Layer 2 (Cheese): Top the ham with a piece of the quartered Swiss cheese or a small pinch of shredded cheese.
The “Lid”: Place a second Ritz cracker on top of each one to create a mini sandwich.
