Cracker Sandwich Ingredients

  • 48 pieces round buttery crackers (such as Ritz) from 1 [13.7-oz.] pkg.
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese cut into 1-in. squares
  • 8 slices Black Forest deli ham each cut into 3 equal strips (about 1 ½-in. wide)
  • ¼ cup red pepper jelly (such as Braswell's)
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter melted

Preparation Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange 24 of the crackers, top sides down, on a large parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet; top each cracker with 1 piece of cheese and 1 strip of ham, folding ham strip into thirds and lightly pressing down.
  • Layer each ham strip with ½ teaspoon pepper jelly and another piece of cheese. Top with remaining 24 crackers, top sides up, to form a sandwich.
  • Stir together melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, everything bagel seasoning, and garlic powder until combined. Brush butter mixture evenly on top of cracker sandwiches.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cheese has melted and tops are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Garnish each cracker sandwich with a piece of cornichon threaded onto a wooden pick, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

These sandwiches can be assembled right before serving for the freshest taste. Consider substituting ingredients for variations based on personal preferences.
