Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing half of the Ritz crackers flat side up, topping with a slice of cheese and deli ham, then capping with another cracker.
Prepare the butter glaze by melting unsalted butter and stirring in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and honey.
Generously brush the tops of the sandwiches with the butter glaze and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden.
Cool for a few minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
