1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all ingredients: pastrami, Swiss cheese, rye bread, coleslaw mix, Russian dressing, dill pickle slices, and butter.
2
Heat the Pastrami
In a skillet over medium heat, place the pastrami and heat until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Toast the Bread
Spread butter on one side of each slice of rye bread. In the same skillet, place the bread butter-side down and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
4
Assemble the Sandwich
On the unbuttered side of one slice of toasted rye bread, layer the warm pastrami, followed by Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and Russian dressing. Add dill pickle slices on top.
5
Complete the Sandwich
Top with the second slice of rye bread, unbuttered side down. Press down gently.
6
Final Toast
Carefully flip the sandwich and return it to the skillet. Toast the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
7
Serve
Slice the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately, optionally with extra coleslaw on the side.
