12 slices of smoked turkey breast, cut into small squares
6 slices of Swiss or Provolone cheese, cut into quarters
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cheese from sticking and to make cleanup easier after your Christmas party.
Place 24 crackers face down on the prepared baking sheet. Top each cracker with a folded piece of turkey and a square of cheese. Place the remaining 24 crackers on top to create small sandwiches. Arrange them closely together so they can support each other during the glazing process.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in the Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder until the mixture is well combined. This glaze provides that signature savory kick that makes these Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches so addictive.
Using a pastry brush or a small spoon, carefully coat the top of each cracker sandwich with the butter mixture. Ensure some of the glaze drips down the sides to help the flavors soak in. If you have extra glaze, you can drizzle it over the edges for extra richness.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. You want the cheese to be completely melted and the crackers to turn a light golden brown. Serve them warm while the cheese is still gooey and the crackers are crisp.
