Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Bread

Butter one side of each slice of rye bread.

2

Layer the Ingredients

On the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, layer half of the pastrami, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese, and then the coleslaw.

3

Add Dressing

Spread the Russian dressing over the coleslaw, then top with the remaining pastrami and another slice of Swiss cheese.

4

Assemble the Sandwich

Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side out.

5

Toast the Sandwich

Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

6

Serve

Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
