Pastrami Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Pastrami Sandwich Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Start by laying out the rye bread slices on a clean surface.

  2. 2

    Add Mustard

    Spread 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard on one side of each slice of rye bread.

  3. 3

    Layer Pastrami

    On two of the slices (mustard side up), layer the pastrami evenly, distributing the 8 oz across both slices.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Place 2 slices of Swiss cheese on top of the pastrami on each sandwich.

  5. 5

    Add Pickles

    Place 2 slices of pickles on top of the cheese on each sandwich.

  6. 6

    Top with Bread

    Cover each sandwich with the remaining rye bread slices, mustard side down.

  7. 7

    Butter the Outside

    Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the outer side of each sandwich.

  8. 8

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwiches in the skillet. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  9. 9

    Serve the Sandwich

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.
