Ritz Cracker Party Sandwiches

Buttery Bite-Size Ham & Swiss Party Bites

These sandwiches are not just delicious — they tell a story. The Ritz cracker, introduced in 1934,
revolutionized snack foods with its delicate, buttery flavor and crisp texture. Over time, it has
become a symbol of comfort, nostalgia, and shared meals in American households. Pairing Ritz
crackers with ham and Swiss cheese transforms a simple snack into something reminiscent of a
classic deli sandwich — only more playful, bite-sized, and perfect for parties.

What makes these sandwiches exceptional is the balance of textures and flavors. The crisp,
slightly salty cracker forms a sturdy base that contrasts beautifully with the soft, tender ham.
As they bake, Swiss cheese melts into the layers, creating a gooey, rich center with subtle nutty
undertones. A savory buttery topping — made with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic
powder, minced onion, and poppy seeds — is brushed over the sandwiches before baking,
adding aroma, color, and irresistible flavor depth in every bite.
