👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Assemble the Sandwiches
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). On 24 Ritz crackers, layer a piece of deli ham and Swiss cheese. Top each with another Ritz cracker to form 24 mini sandwiches.
Step 2: Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, poppy seeds, and dried minced onion.
Step 3: Brush and Arrange
Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously coat the tops of the sandwiches with the buttery glaze. Arrange them evenly on a baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake and Serve
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving warm.
