Ingredients
– 96 crackers (about 3 sleeves)
– ½ lb (approximately 225 g) thinly sliced deli ham (such as honey ham, black forest ham, or preferred type)
– ⅓ lb (approximately 150 g) thinly sliced Swiss cheese (or alternatives like Colby jack, cheddar, American, or pepper jack)
– 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
– 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
Instructions
1-Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) to get that perfect melt on the cheese.
2-Place crackers: Place 24 crackers flat-side down in the bottom of each of two 13×9 inch (33×23 cm) baking dishes for even baking.
3-Prepare ham: Tear ham into small strips and place gently folded slices on each cracker to add that savory layer.
4-Cut cheese: Cut cheese into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces and place one piece on top of the ham for gooey goodness.
5-Top sandwiches: Top each with another cracker, rounded side up, to form neat mini sandwiches.
6-Melt butter: Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl for about 45 seconds until it’s ready to mix.
7-Whisk butter mixture: Whisk in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salt to create a flavorful topping.
8-Pour mixture: Pour the butter mixture evenly over the mini sandwiches for a glossy finish.
9-Sprinkle toppings: Sprinkle poppy seeds and dried onion flakes on top for extra flavor and texture.
10-Bake: Bake for 10 12 minutes or until cheese is melted and crackers are lightly golden.
11-Serve: Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm to keep everything crisp.
