Super easy to make and always delicious Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches are the life of every party, with a buttery glaze, ham and cheese.
Takes about 20 minutes to make for the big board. Make on the 26-inch big board if you double the recipe.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with either parchment paper or foil.
Place 24 crackers in the bottom of a 13×9 inch baking dish, flat side down. Place another 24 crackers in the bottom of another 13×9 inch baking dish. Or, if you have an extra large baking sheet, you can make all 48 bites on one sheet.
Tear off pieces of ham and lightly fold over and place on each cracker. On half of the crackers you can add a small slice of pepperoni or salami (optional).
Cut the cheese into 1 inch pieces and place one piece of cheese on top of the ham and pepperoni. Top each mini sandwich with another cracker, salted side up.
Melt the butter and whisk in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salt.
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the mini sandwiches. Use a pastry brush to even out the butter.
Sprinkle the Everything but the Bagel seasoning evenly over the top of the crackers.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the crackers are golden brown.
Serve right away, while the party sandwiches are warm (otherwise the crackers get soggy).
Enjoy!
To make the board:
While the party sandwiches are in the oven, prepare a large board with a plate in the center to hold a cheese ball.
Around it add the red peppers, and then the fresh rosemary (to make a wreath).
As soon as the crackers come out of the oven - serve within 5 minutes, and place each "sandwich" on the board.
