Ingredients:
12 Ritz crackers (or your favorite buttery crackers)
6 slices of deli ham, cut into small pieces
6 slices of Swiss cheese, cut into small squares
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional)
1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven:
Set the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Assemble the cracker melts:
Lay the Ritz crackers on a baking sheet. Spread a small amount of Dijon mustard on each cracker (if using). Add a piece of ham on top of each cracker, followed by a square of Swiss cheese.
Bake the melts:
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Finish with honey (optional):
For a sweet-savory twist, drizzle a little honey over the cracker melts as soon as they come out of the oven.
Garnish and serve:
Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch. Serve warm as a quick appetizer or snack.
