Method

Preparation

Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment for easy cleanup.
Mix the butter topping: Melt the butter and stir in Dijon, Worcestershire, poppy seeds, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Adjust to taste.

Assembly

Lay half the crackers on the pan. Top each with cheese and meat, then cap with another cracker.
Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the sandwiches.

Baking

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops look glossy.
Let them sit for 2 to 3 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Pro tips: Use thin cheese slices, keep fillings small and flat, and do not skimp on the butter mix for maximum flavor. These sandwiches can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated before baking.
