Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Assemble the Sandwiches

Lay out half of the Ritz crackers on the baking sheet, flat side up.
Place a small slice of deli meat and a piece of cheese on each cracker.
If using mayo or mustard, spread a little on the top cracker.
Top each sandwich with a second cracker, flat side down, to make a mini sandwich.

Step 3: Make the Buttery Topping

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, seeds, and parsley.
Stir well to combine.

Step 4: Brush & Bake

Use a pastry brush or spoon to drizzle the butter mixture over each sandwich.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Keep It Even – Cut meat and cheese to fit neatly on the crackers.
Don’t Overfill – Too much filling will make them slide apart.
Add Sweetness – Try honey ham and Swiss with a touch of jam for a sweet-savory combo.
Spice It Up – Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter topping for heat.
Make It Ahead – Assemble sandwiches ahead, refrigerate, then bake just before serving.
