Ingredients

48 Ritz crackers
24 thin slices of ham
6 slices Swiss or sharp cheddar cheese (cut in fourths)
4 Tablespoons salted butter
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Place 24 of the Ritz crackers on the baking sheet. Top each one with a slice of ham and cheese, then sandwich with another cracker.
In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. Whisk in the dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, and garlic powder. Brush the butter mixture over top of the crackers. Sprinkle with the bagel seasoning.
Bake uncovered for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and the edges of the crackers are browned. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Notes

If you're using thicker slices of ham, use a knife to cut it into fourths for the sandwiches. The thin slices can simply be folded up on the crackers.
Both Swiss and cheddar cheese work really well here. Use either one or split it half and half.
Sub deli turkey for the ham, if you prefer.
If using unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the butter mixture.
