Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a medium bowl, crack the 2 large eggs and add 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Eggs

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbs of butter. Once melted, pour in the whisked eggs. Stir gently with a spatula, allowing the eggs to cook evenly until they are fluffy and just set, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Warm the Pastrami

    In the same skillet, add the 4 oz of house-smoked pastrami and heat for about 1-2 minutes, just until warmed through. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of rye bread, layer the cooked eggs, followed by the warmed pastrami, and top with 2 slices of Cooper sharp American cheese. Place the second slice of rye bread on top.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Return the assembled sandwich to the skillet over medium heat. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  6. 6

    Serve

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