1
Slice the Pastrami
If the pastrami is not pre-sliced, slice it into thin strips using a sharp knife.
2
Prepare the Bread
Lay out the rye bread slices on a clean surface, and spread 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard on one side of each slice.
3
Add the Cheese (optional)
If you are using Swiss cheese, place a slice on top of the mustard on two of the bread slices.

4
Layer the Pastrami
Place half of the sliced pastrami on top of the mustard (and cheese, if used) on one slice of bread.
5
Add Pickles
Place two slices of pickles on top of the pastrami.
6
Top with the Other Slice of Bread
Cover with another slice of bread, mustard side down, to complete the sandwich.

7
Grill the Sandwich
In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once melted, place the sandwich in the skillet.
8
Toast Each Side
Grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the pastrami is heated through.

9
Slice and Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve immediately with extra pickles on the side.
