Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Spread yellow mustard on one side of each slice of rye bread.

  2. 2

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the non-mustard side of two slices of bread, layer the pastrami and top with Swiss cheese. Close the sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, mustard side down.

  3. 3

    Butter the Bread

    Spread butter on the outer sides of each sandwich.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Press down slightly with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
