Cracker Sandwich Ingredients
- 48 crackers round buttery crackers such as Ritz
- 8 oz Swiss cheese slices cut into 1-in. squares
- 8 oz Black Forest deli ham slices each cut into 3 equal strips
- ¼ cup red pepper jelly such as Braswell's
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 6 cornichons halved lengthwise and crosswise, optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- 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 prepped in advance but should be assembled just before serving to avoid sogginess.
