1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all ingredients and prepare them for assembly. Slice the pickles if using, and set aside.

2
Grill the Pastrami
In a skillet over medium heat, add the pastrami and heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating.
3
Toast the Bread
While the pastrami is heating, butter one side of each slice of rye bread. In a separate skillet, place the bread butter-side down and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the bread and place a slice of Swiss cheese on each piece of bread, allowing it to melt slightly.

4
Build the Sandwich
Once the pastrami is heated and the cheese is slightly melted, layer the pastrami on one slice of the toasted bread. Spread yellow mustard over the pastrami. Top with pickles, sauerkraut, and a sprinkle of horseradish if desired.
5
Finish the Sandwich
Place the second slice of bread on top, cheese side down, creating a sandwich. Gently press down to help it hold together.

6
Serve
Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately, with additional pickles on the side if desired.
