Begin by spreading one tablespoon of Dijon mustard evenly on one side of each slice of rye bread.
Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the mustard-coated side of two slices of bread.
Layer each sandwich with 4 oz of pastrami, folded neatly over the cheese.
Add 1/2 cup of coleslaw on top of the pastrami for each sandwich.
Cover the coleslaw with the other slice of bread, mustard-side down.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of butter.
Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet once the butter has melted and begun to sizzle.
Cook the sandwiches for about 3-5 minutes on one side or until the bread turns golden brown and crispy.
Add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet, flip the sandwiches, and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts and the bread is crispy and golden.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
Slice each sandwich in half, add two slices of pickles on the side, and serve immediately.
